The emergence of the movement called 'Reform' has challenged the assumption of many Anglican evangelicals that all is changing for the better within their denomination. Reform's analysis of the situation has posed some hard questions. Reform's very existence has naturally raised the question of whether 'Keele' has failed.
Keele was an Anglican evangelical conference which took place in 1967. It is popularly known as the moment when Anglican evangelicals left their ghetto to take over the Church of England. This book comes out of a symposium held in late 1994 which attempted to look at some of the issues which Reform has raised.
