  Written in a lively and personal style by an insider of both Parliament and the Church of England, this is an examination of the way in which religion and politics are linked in England. As a parliamentary advisor who has worked with senior figures, including Iain Macleod, Lord Whitelaw and John Major, David Rogers is positioned to offer insights for both priests and politicians. His controversial conclusions following an examination of the intertwining of Church and State should interest those concerned with the question of whether or not the Church of England does, in fact, make the best and most imaginative use of its establishment position. The book can be used as a guide to campaigning and lobbying, as an introduction to the workings of Parliament, as a practical study of the role of public prayer, or read as a testimonial on making faith relevant.>
