This book provides the first account of an important but neglected aspect of the history of the nineteenth-century Church of England: the reform of its diocesan structures. It illustrates how one of the most important institutions of Victorian England responded at a regional level to thepastoral challenge of a rapidly changing society. Providing a new perspective on the impact of both the Oxford Movement and the Ecclesiastical Commission on the Church, The Diocesan Revival in the Church of England shows that an appreciation of the dynamics of diocesan reform has implications forour understanding of secular as well as ecclesiastical reform in the early nineteenth century. | The Diocesan Revival in the Church of England c.1800-1870 by Arthur Burns, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
