By name I should mention Canon Dr Judith Maltby, the Revd Dr Peter Doll, the Revd Dr Andrew Atherstone, and my colleague, Canon Prof. Martyn Percy. I would also like to thank my students at Cuddesdon who have encouraged me for many years to think that I have something worth saying about Anglicanism. It is to them that this book is affectionately dedicated.
