This collection of essays investigates the enduring personal and intellectual motivations that keep diverse individuals committed to the Anglican tradition despite contemporary challenges. The volume features contributions from a variety of public figures, clergy, and writers, including A.N. Wilson and Frank Field, who articulate their specific reasons for remaining within the Church of England. By synthesizing personal testimony with theological reflection, the text provides a multifaceted look at the identity of modern Anglicanism.

This work offers a snapshot of mid-1980s Anglican thought, reflecting the specific ecclesiastical and social concerns of that era. The varied backgrounds of the contributors suggest a broad, pluralistic approach to the question of religious identity within the established church.
