Partitioning Contemporary Anglicanism: A Study in Critical Ecclesiology

Partitioning Contemporary Anglicanism

A Study in Critical Ecclesiology

17.07.2026

Partitioning Postcolonial Anglicanism offers an unsparing, critical look at the fracturing lines currently tearing at the fabric of the Church of England. As the mother church of a global communion struggles to reconcile its historical legacy with modern postcolonial realities, internal disputes regarding power, gender, and sexuality have triggered deep organisational trauma.

In this rigorous study of critical ecclesiology, Martyn Percy brilliantly details how deep-seated discord and administrative overreach have created systemic divisions. Rather than offering cheap management-speak solutions, this book diagnoses the root cultural and theological causes of the church’s internal crises, providing an essential and challenging map for anyone seeking to understand the ongoing fragmentation of modern ecclesial authority.
