This book offers a new evaluation of the political role of the Church of England in inter-war Britain. It argues that, at a time of crises such as the General Strike of 1926, the Prayer Book controversy of 1929, the Abdication Crisis of 1936 and the rise of Hitler, religion remained central to political thought and debate. Anglican thinkers like Archbishop William Temple offered a theory and rhetoric of Christian community which had a wide appeal as an antidote to class consciousness and Nazism, and that Anglicanism played a central role in the articulation of inter-war ideas of Englishness.
