[ACNS source: Continuum Books] A new international journal is released this month concerned with the study of Anglicanism in all its forms. The scholarly journal is published by Continuum Publishers on behalf of the Journal of Anglican Studies Trust and will appear twice a year.

The founding Editor Dr Bruce Kaye, General Secretary of the Anglican Church of Australia, declared that the Journal represents a bold initiative to engage Anglican scholars from around the world in serious study of the Anglican tradition.

He said that the initiative had been widely welcomed, and the Journal was especially grateful for the support and encouragement of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Dr Rowan Williams has contributed an article in the first edition and has commended the initiative as a “very exciting prospect”.

The Secretary General of the Anglican Communion, John Peterson, welcomed the new journal and said it would make “a valuable contribution to the life of the Anglican Communion”.

The Journal has an editorial board drawn from around the world, and the first issues contain articles from Africa, Australia, England and the USA.

Full details of the Journal including a special introductory offer, contributor’s guidelines and the contents of the first issue can be found on the Continuum web site.
