Summary

• To Be a Pilgrim is about the Anglican ethos from a historical perspective. Neither a denominational nor a confessional treatment, it traces the evolution of spirituality in the English tradition from Bede and Cranmer to C. S. Lewis, T. S. Eliot, and Dorothy Sayers.
• By describing the Anglican ethos in historical context, with its emphasis on reason, moderation, liturgy and culture, readers can more easily see the grounding from which this faith tradition emerges.
• There are readings at the end of each chapter and excerpts throughout from key writers. Poetry, mystery, literacy, music, art, plus social justice and spirituality are all characteristic of the Anglican tradition. Book jacket.
