In this timely work, Michael Doe shows the rightful position of mission as the lifeblood of the Church, and shows how our understanding of it as Christians is crucial for what we present to the wider world. He considers the Anglican roots within the nature of mission, current tensions in the Church and how they relate to social engagement, the history of mission and Church structures. An underlying theme of this book is power; how power has been exercised in God's Church, and how it should be used in the Anglican Communion today. He questions how that relates to the way we understand power in the mission of God, and especially in what we see in Jesus Christ.

Bishop Michael navigates the true bloodline of mission in Anglican identity. Theological distinctives, Christology, global influence, history, social engagement and more are the rich weave of the wide-ranging title. The subtle underbelly of power dynamics are explored in the big sweep of each chapter. Expressions, emergence, explanation are fully thought through, with the imperialistic root system being of particular interest and accessibility to this reader. This work regarding the mission of God and the Anglican Communion unveils potential, reality, failure and struggle, locally, nationally and internationally. Accessible, robust and broadly inclusive for a sub-100 page book, truly if our "fellowship cannot embrace difference, allow change, contain challenge, what witness are we to the world?!" Bishop Michael offers Anglicanism a compelling milestone of both faithfulness and possibility.
