"Walter Frere was one of the great scholarly church leaders of the early twentieth century, yet he has remained something of an enigma. Although expert in many different areas of study, only a few specialists value his work today. As a co-founder of the Community of the Resurrection his influence is everywhere, though he operated from behind the scenes. This long-awaited book aims to make Frere and the great range of his ability, interests and legacy better known. It includes: a masterly overview of his life and character; a reflection on his spirituality that was at once ascetic, studious and practical in the service of the disadvantaged; his outstanding record as a teacher; his innovative vision of the priesthood; an exploration of the controversy he aroused in his exercise of episcopacy; his pioneering ecumenical work in the Malines conversations and his sadness that more was not accomplished; his profound influence on the Revised Prayer Book of 1928 and his vision of its potential to satisfy pastoral needs and heal divisions in the Anglican Communion; his enduring influence as a founder of the Community of the Resurrection"--Publisher's description, back cover

MICHAEL RAMSEY (1905–1988) was one of the greatest Anglican archbishops of the twentieth century and a man of spiritual depth who inspired a generation of Christians. Evangelical by origin, catholic by formation, and liberal by instinct, Ramsey learned from many traditions and, as Archbishop of Canterbury, moved ecumenical dialogue into a new and decisive phase. A remarkable spiritual leader, he continues to be remembered as both reverent and visionary. Glory Descending serves both as an introduction to Ramsey’s life and as a reader of his key writings. The introductory chapter gives an overview of Ramsey’s career and explains why he was such a significant figure in recent church history. The large selection of Ramsey’s writings that follows makes readily accessible the essence of his thought. Drawn from all of his works, these powerful passages constitute an exceptionally consistent body of spiritual theology and teaching. Here we have not just a voice from the past but a prophetic call to holiness and faith in our own times. Also included are reflections by leading churchmen and scholars on Ramsey’s continuing influence. Four pieces by Rowan Williams probe distinctive themes in Ramsey’s thought. John Habgood and Geoffrey Rowell offer lectures prepared for the centenary of Ramsey’s birth. Douglas Dales explores the contours of Ramsey’s spiritual theology. Finally, the book has been designed as a companion to the Christian liturgical year, making it an invaluable aid to preaching, teaching, and devotions.
