Anglicanism and the reproduction of peoplehood
This article explores contemporary Church of England disagreements over ecclesial recognition of homosexual relationships in dialogue with postcolonial theology and theory.

The article then engages with the version of negative eschatology rendered by Vincent Lloyd, which holds out the po…

I argue that the possibility of being formed as a Christian outside the practices of the church is an important dimension of discipleship, but one that has often been overlooked in recent theological discussions. In response, I offer an account of extra-ecclesial formation as part of a wider p…
