| Summary: | Given the many complexities faced by the Anglican Communion one might be forgiven for thinking that the suggestion that Anglicanism has a coherent theology is a contradiction in terms.

He is careful to stress, however, that it lacks a ‘group of central characters’ that might be regarded as laying down the benchmarks for ever. |
