In this intellectual and political history of Anglicanism, Gary Dorrien shows that the Communion's present challenges are the upshot of a centuries-old clash of Anglican identities. Tracing the narrative of Anglicanism from its ancient and medieval origins through the English Reformation and up to the last quarter of the twentieth century, Dorrien argues that Anglican Christianity is at once an  \u003ci\u003eecumenical\u003c\/i\u003e project, residing at the halfway point between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism, a  \u003ci\u003etheological\u003c\/i\u003e movement informed by a brand of idealism centered in the incarnational faith of Logos theology, and an  \u003ci\u003eimperial\u003c\/i\u003e enterprise complicit in the racist sickness of Western civilization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA book long in the making,  \u003ci\u003eAnglican Identities\u003c\/i\u003e offers a comprehensive, informative, and sobering account of the story of Anglicanism. Dorrien covers the key figures, periods, movements, and theological concerns from the Communion's history, framing them in an interpretation of Anglican Christianity informed by decades in the classroom and his unique liberal-liberationist and activist reading of theology, ethics, and philosophy of religion. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDorrien contends that Anglicanism has been sort-of ecumenical from the beginning, with a radical ecumenical aspirational vision, and in its liturgies and teachings has embodied and enacted an idealist approach to the claims of the Christian theological tradition. But Dorrien urges that these features of the Anglican story are deeply at odds with English Anglicanism's entanglement with white colonialism. Indeed, in Dorrien's telling, this antinomy between its identity as an ecumenically generous religion of the incarnate Logos and its willing involvement in white supremacy is at the very heart of Anglican Christianity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface and Acknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.
