Centre for Anglican History and Theology
Description
The Centre was launched at the University of Kent, Canterbury, in September 2020. It is an interdisciplinary centre for the study of the Anglican Communion across the world, linking scholars and those interested in Anglican studies in and outside the university. It establishes an academic centre for Anglican studies at the heart of Canterbury, a focal point of Anglican history and theology. The long association of the University of Kent with the Michael Ramsey Chair in Modern Theology reflects the importance of building an intellectual environment to understand the historical and contemporary issues of Anglicanism.
The Centre will take the lead in the study of Anglican history since the sixteenth century, examining politics, church-state relations, theology, mission and the export of Anglicanism overseas. The Centre also focuses on the place of Anglican Church on social and moral issues, such as women’s rights, same-sex relations, medical ethics, child abuse, climate change and world poverty.
