There has been a revolution. The God who ruled over us for five hundred years has been overthrown. The soul of England has been transformed, almost without anybody noticing. Gone are the shared values and confidence of a nation that seemed so sure of itself and what it believed in, even as recently as the wedding of Charles and Diana, our last great festival of certainty. Since then the number of people who go to church on Sunday has halved. More of us go to IKEA. Millions still believe in God but never want to go near a pew again. Why have we turned away, and what does it mean? Moreton uncovers the battles, blunders, sex scandals and financial disasters that caused the long predicted death of the established Church. But this extraordinary story is about all of us, not just the Christians. Can a new national identity emerge, now that we have a thousand gods instead of just one? Moreton says yes and reveals how a constantly evolving but uniquely English spirituality remains at the heart of who we are. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

The long-predicted death of the established Church has already happened, argues Moreton. He uncovers the battles, blunders, sex scandals and financial disasters that contributed to it. But this extraordinary story is about ALL of us, not just Christians. Can a new national identity emerge, now that we have a thousand gods instead of only one? Moreton believes we can. From the miner's strike to the climate camp, from Hillsborough to the funeral of Jade Goody, he reveals how a continually evolving but uniquely English spirituality remains at the heart of who we are.
