This unit will survey Anglican history, theology, and ecclesiology to help students understand what it means to be Anglican in our contemporary context. The history of Anglicanism is explored from its Celtic roots in the Medieval period, to the reformation schism with Rome, to the divergent paths of high and low-church movements from the eighteenth-century to today. Understanding contemporary Anglicanism also requires us to explore the local and global contexts within which Australian Anglicanism has developed. This unit will engage with multiple perspectives on what it means to be Anglican in the contemporary Australian context.
