For Anglicans seeking deeper Marian devotion

Clarifies Mary’s role in Anglican faith and practice

You will enrich your understanding of Mary’s influence

This insightful book explores Mary’s significance in the Anglican tradition.
The subject of this book by one of the Church of England's most respected Anglo-Catholic priests could hardly be more central. The rekindling of devotion to Mary has been one of the many gifts of the Catholic movement to the Church of England, and there are few better exponents of it than Roger Greenacre. He was keen to foster a greater appreciation of Mary among Anglicans, as part of a renewed emphasis on the Church of England's catholic identity and relationship with the wider Church. He traces the way that Mary has been perceived throughout Anglican history, from patterns of Marian devotion in the Middle Ages to her portrayal in today's liturgical texts, and examines her role in ecumenical dialogue. In a selection of homilies he presents Mary to an Anglican and ecumenical audience. The book opens with a biographical account of Roger Greenacre's life and work by his literary executor, Colin Podmore.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    This is an absolutely beautiful consideration of the Anglo-Catholic veneration of Mary found within quarters of the Church of England. This book also serves in some way as a fitting memorial and remembrance of a well respected proponent of Anglican Marian devotion, Roger Greenacre. However for me the collection of homilies to be found in section two of the book were a highlight and joy to read, with real depth of feeling and insight to them, and a strangely British refined passion running as an undercurrent to them. The love, attraction and desire to share the reverence that Roger Greenacre so obviously had for the Blessed Virgin Mary cannot be overlooked in the short homilies collected here. The third section which incorporates an historical investigation and understanding into Marian devotion and suppression within the Anglican Communion is also very well done and surprisingly easy to read. This is due in part to the use of short sections which means there is not much heavy labouring to be done in reading the book. This really is a wonderful book for anyone within the Anglo-Catholic tradition looking to further their devotional practice and understanding of the role of the Blessed Virgin Mary, or indeed for anyone in the Anglican church who wants to gain an understanding of the part Mary can and does play within the Church and its faith framework.
