The noted preacher and spiritual writer Michael Mayne wrote extensively about Anglicanism's distinctive theology and ethos, and how it could help the church speak to contemporary society.

This collection of his unpublished writings and lectures offers a vintage distillation of his wisdom and pastoral understanding that remains extraordinarily relevant. Michael Mayne's wisdom calls the church back to its deepest spiritual identity and purpose, exploring:

• The nature of moderation and tolerance;
• The influence of daily prayer;
• What happens when Anglicans disagree;
• Unity in Christ despite diversity in practice;
• Learning from controversies.
