The Anglican Church in Singapore holds a distinctive position in the study of World Christianity and the history of Southeast Asia. Its journey from a colonial settlement church to a transformative force in Singapore's postcolonial transition and its evolution into a prominent part of a highly prosperous, hyperglobalized, supercapitalist, aspiration-driven modern state is a remarkable story. This study utilizes archival material, incisive scholarship, and candid memoirs to trace the two-hundred-year history of the Anglican Church in Singapore, encompassing significant events such as world wars and communist insurgency, leading to hard-won national independence and the remarkable social transformation of today. However, this book goes beyond mere chronological narrative, offering a multidisciplinary approach that draws insights from theological, anthropological, political, and sociolinguistic perspectives. The authors' inquisitive and rigorous approach explores critical themes such as the colonial-era Anglican Church's social, ethnic, and interreligious engagement, as well as its more recent and controversial commitment to the Anglican Realignment movement and its unexpected reorientation towards Pentecostalism. The case of the Anglican Church in Singapore is essential for a comprehensive understanding of World Christianity and Christianity in Asia today.
