"Church closures are a feature of modern times, occurring on an unprecedented scale, a momentous historical change. Yet few people have analysed this phenomenon. Denise Bonnette's superb book is the exception: a most welcome and fascinating discussion of the reasons and processes of such closures, and what they mean to us today."
-K. D. M. Snell, University of Leicester, UK
"This is a compelling book, post-Covid. It rediscovers the historic reasons for the current perilous state of the Church of England. From 1945, cultural changes were a catalyst for shrinking congregations, and crumbling buildings. The Anglican Church wanted to 'care for all souls' but this was an unviable spiritual mission, putting at risk a rich architectural history."
-Elizabeth Hurren, Chair in Modern History, University of Leicester, UK
This book is a reappraisal of Anglican Church redundancy from a cultural perspective. It challenges long-held perceptions about the rationale for church redundancy, particularly secularisation. It argues that redundancy brought to the surface far-reaching social and cultural tensions that remain unresolved to this day, and which the pandemic closure of buildings has reignited.
