Professors Ian Douglas, Christopher Daraysingh and Frederika Thompsett stimulated my thinking about the nature of Anglicanism as a world communion. This enabled me to spend an exciting semester in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 2002, with access to the magnificent libraries of Harvard. I owe a particular debt of gratitude to Bishop Stephen Charleston, the President of the Episcopal Divinity School, and to the faculty there, for the award of a Proctor Fellowship. Firstly I wish to thank my colleagues in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies at the University of Leeds for their support and encouragement, in particular the successive heads of department: Professor Haddon Willmer, Professor Kim Knott, Dr Hugh Pyper and Dr Al McFadyen.

Kevin Ward is Senior Lecturer in African Studies in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies, University of Leeds. At a time when Anglicanism faces the danger of dissolution Ward explores the historically deep roots of non-western forms of Anglicanism, and the importance of the diversity and flexibility which has so far enabled Anglicanism to develop cohesive yet multiform identities around the world. While emphasising the importance of colonialism and neo-colonialism for explaining the globalisation of Anglicanism, Ward does not focus predominantly on the churches of Britain and North America nor does he privilege the idea of Anglicanism as an ‘expansion of English Christianity’. He explores the character of the African, Asian, Oceanic, Caribbean and Latin American churches which are now a majority in the worldwide communion, and shows how they are decisively shaping what it means to be Anglican. In this book Kevin Ward questions that assumption. Anglicanism can be seen as irredeemably English.
