Media Reviews
Pretty much all you need to know about the Church of England is here, at a glance ... Warmly recommended. - Church Times
A real 'nuts-and-bolts' book for all those who want to know a brief history of the Church of England and how it is run from national to local parish levels. - The Bookseller, 2008
Mention --Book News, November 2008
In Davie's short work one has enough to make sense of the Church of England and any clergyman, minister or rabbi serious about interfaith issues and understanding 'the other' would do well to have this on their study shelves. Common Ground
