Book Description:

In Defence of the English Catholic is a robust and passionate exposition of Anglican Catholic identity, written at the height of the Catholic Revival and rooted firmly in the life and witness of the Church of England. In this classic work, Frank Weston sets out a clear defence of the English Catholic position—historical, theological, and spiritual—against both Protestant reductionism and Roman centralisation.

In Defence of the English Catholic remains essential reading for students of Anglican theology, the Catholic Revival, and the enduring question of what it means to be a Catholic Anglican.

The volume is accompanied by a biographical sketch of Frank Weston, Bishop of Zanzibar—one of the most compelling and controversial figures of the early twentieth-century English Church.
