USPG is pleased to invite you to a timely and thought-provoking webinar exploring the deep structural and theological challenges facing the Anglican Communion today — and offering a constructive vision for its renewal.

Drawing on his PhD research, Chris Dowdeswell argues that the Communion’s crisis cannot be explained only by its most visible disagreements (human sexuality, episcopal authority, scriptural interpretation), but points instead to a deeper failure: the loss of the contemplative and communal reasoning that once lay at the heart of the Elizabethan Settlement.

This webinar will offer not only diagnosis, but also a reasonable hope for the future, proposing a model of Spirit-led discernment grounded in perspective-taking, behavioural science, social brain research, and postmetaphysical philosophy — aiming to move beyond factionalism toward renewed common life.
