Margaret Johnson (ed): "Thomas Cranmer: 500th Anniversary of His Birth,"...


In pp.60-70, the “mosaic” (our word) of many patterns is shuffled, reshuffled, arrange and rearranged, debated, discussed, experimented with and more as the 1980 Alternative Service Book emerges from the 1872 and 1928 trials, tribulations, disquisitions, efforts and even Parliamentary rows (e.g., the 1928 BCP). To follow the details is to be working with a giant jig-saw puzzle. Can on just go back to the 1662 BCP without all this-that-the-other-because-of-this-that-the-other? Can we just get a good systematic theology outta England since 1980?
