Very readable, though occasionally lapsing into church jargon, a very personal perspective on the significance to England and the English of the church of england today, resulting from and through its contributions to the country's history. A successful critique of recent and present-day to 'lose' the Book of Common Prayer and why this is a big mistake. Every serving CofE priest should read, mark and inwardly digest!

For most people in England today, the church is simply the empty building at the end of the road, visited for the first time, if at all, when dead. It offers its sacraments to a population that lives without rites of passage, and which regards the National Health Service rather than the National Church as its true spiritual guardian. In Our Church, Scruton argues that the Anglican Church is the forlorn trustee of an architectural and artistic inheritance that remains one of the treasures of European civilization. He contends that it is a still point in the center of English culture and that its defining texts, the King James Bible and the Book of Common Prayer are the sources from which much of our national identity derives. At once an elegy to a vanishing world and a clarion call to recognize Anglicanism's continuing relevance, Our Church is a graceful and persuasive book.
