Role of the Church in civilisation

Anglican concern with broader issues of social justice can be traced to its earliest divines. .Richard Hooker, for instance, wrote that "God hath created nothing simply for itself, but each thing in all things, and of every thing each part in other have such interest, that in the whole world nothing is found whereunto any thing created can say, 'I need thee not.'"^ That’s what created in God’s image is all about.

 .This, and related statements, reflect the deep thread of incarnational theology running through Anglican social thought – a theology which sees God, nature, and humanity in dynamic interaction, and the interpenetration of the secular and the sacred in the make-up of the cosmos.^ While the ancient see of Canterbury is dear to most Anglicans, and is a focus of unity for them, Canterbury does not occupy the place in Anglican theology that Rome does for Roman Catholics.

 ^ Where the Bible was the Word inspired through human men to write God’s teaching and instructions down and to record the events, healings, and miracles as well for our teaching and training.

 .Such theology is informed by a traditional English spiritual ethos, rooted in Celtic Christianity and reinforced by Anglicanism's origins as an established church, bound up by its structure in the life and interests of civil society.^ A half dozen or so of the articles differentiate the Anglican church from Rome, but more than thirty of them are beautiful statements of traditional Christian orthodoxy.

Repeatedly, throughout Anglican history, this principle has reasserted itself in movements of social justice. .For instance, in the eighteenth century the influential Evangelical Anglican William Wilberforce, along with others, campaigned against the slave trade.^ As an evangelical, in a more decidedly nineteenth century sense, I sometimes have to cringe at the stuff that passes for evangelicalism in contemporary Anglicanism, but there is very little that I can do about that.

 For years he was chairman of the Ragged School Board. Frederick Denison Maurice was a leading figure advocating reform, founding so-called "producer's co-operatives" and the Working Men's College.
