Summary

The Anglo-Catholic movement within the Church of England enjoyed a golden era beginning in the aftermath of the First World War and continuing to the middle of the twentieth-century. The renowned Anglo-Catholic Congresses became a pioneering evangelistic and teaching agency that was highly effective in a number of areas. This lively, illustrated history of the Congress Years is co-published with the Society of Faith and charts the achievements of those remarkable years and provides a valuable record for all students of church history.
