Synopsis

This fourth revised edition brings an invaluable text thoroughly up to date in light of recent and forthcoming changes to ecclesiastical law. Theological students and clergy need to know the canon law in which much of their theology and parish work is embedded. Practising lawyers will find here information on the immediate problems arising in ecclesiastical cases as well as the background of ecclesiastical law in which they are set. This book deals with the basic principles on which canon law is built and with the complications which arise by reason of the Establishment, and gives in outline the constitution of the Church of England, and the law relating to its worship, sacraments, property, and persons.

Media Reviews
This new edition will teach a new generation that ecclesiastical law is itself an expression of the Gospel and of Christian Theology. Here we see how canon law is designed to help us fulfil our vocation to be a community which is a life-giving expression of God's grace. Law and grace are two sides of the same coin: without grace - no law; without law - no grace. Timothy Briden, editor of this fourth edition, is like a householder bringing forth treasures both old and new. In its pages Garth Moore, famed in his day for the guidance that the clergy should never wear brown shoes, exerts his continuing influence upon the character, ethos and practical outworking of English Ecclesiastical Law. -- Dr John Sentamu, Archbishop of York
Garth Moore performed an invaluable service last century in sustaining canonical learning in Anglicanism. Timothy Briden has ensured the continuity of this service this century in an excellent new edition of Moore. Building on Moore's classic, the book presents recent developments in the field in a systematic, comprehensive, and clear way which is wholly at one with the spirit of the original. * Professor Norman Doe, Director of the Centre for Law and Religion, Cardiff Law School *
