This eighth edition contains many previously unpublished Opinions as well as a comprehensive updating and revision of the contents of previous editions. It is an indispensible reference work for all practitioners and students of ecclesiastical law.

'Profound, learned, informed, committed, invested and hope-filled . . . a book to renew and revive us.' ARCHBISHOP JUSTIN WELBY In Living His Story (2020), Hannah Steele wrote 'with an infectious understanding of her subject' (Mark Oakley, Church Times). Now, in Living His Story Together, she turns her attention to mission and evangelism that is not only for individuals but for the whole local church. Offering an inspiring mandate for the church to see itself as a missionary community, Hannah considers the practical outworkings of that identity through engaging with scripture and current theological thinking, and sharing real-life stories from churches on the front line. Living His Story Together isn't an argument for a particular model of church (plant or parish, for example) but an exciting exploration of what can happen when two or three of God's missionary disciples are gathered together, empowered by the Spirit and seeking to be good news in the world today. It covers contemporary missional themes, such as hospitality, cultural engagement, presence, diversity and spoken witness, and offers practical principles - vividly enlivened by relating the imaginative and disarming ways in which ordinary churches and individuals are sharing the gospel - to help us embrace the great privilege to which we have been called.

This fourth revised edition brings an invaluable text thoroughly up to date in light of recent and forthcoming changes to ecclesiastical law. Theological students and clergy need to know the canon law in which much of their theology and parish work is embedded. Practising lawyers will find here information on the immediate problems arising in ecclesiastical cases as well as the background of ecclesiastical law in which they are set. This book deals with the basic principles on which canon law is built and with the complications which arise by reason of the Establishment, and gives in outline the constitution of the Church of England, and the law relating to its worship, sacraments, property, and persons.
