FAIRACRES PUBLICATIONS 144

Exploring some of the finest passages in English prose and poetry, from William Tyndale to the end of the twentieth century, Rowan Williams pursues strands of thought in Christian contemplation which reflect on social responsibility. He perceives this approach as being deeply characteristic of the Anglican spirit and invites us to recognize its enduring significance in our own day. Rowan Williams, born in 1950 and ordained priest in 1978, has been Archbishop of Canterbury since 2002, prior to which he was Bishop of Monmouth and Archbishop of Wales. He was Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity in the University of Oxford from 1986 to 1991. He is the author of many books.
