  • More about The Once and Future Parish


For the Parish has caused significant stir in the Church of England, with new and familiar themes such as minister hubs, the 'Emerging Church program, and the Strategic Development Fund being debated. Alison Milbank offers an encouraging vision of what the parish model could offer to the anxious world.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 144 pages
Publication date: 28 September 2023
Publisher: SCM Press


Few other books have caused as much stir in the Church of England in recent decades as has For the Parish. Twelve years on from its publication, in the wake of the Covid pandemic and the 'Save the Parish movement, much has changed, but much has stayed the same. In this follow-up to this influential and controversial book, new and already familiar themes are newly inflected in the debates of the present time: principally minister hubs, the 'Emerging Church programme, and the Strategic Development Fund. Alison Milbank challenges the ecclesiology, models of theological anthropology, and the analysis of secularism that are present (explicitly or implicitly) in these movements, and offers a striking and encouraging vision of what the parish model could offer to our anxious world.
