Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)

An ecumenical book panel on Dr. Kwok Pui lan and Bishop Ian T. Douglas' new anthology, Living Postcolonial Anglicanism: Prospects for a Polycentric Anglican Communion (T and T Clark, 2025). This is a follow-up to their Beyond Colonial Anglicanism (2001), which introduced a post-colonial approach to Anglican history, mission, ecclesiology, and theology. This new volume explores different aspects of the question under the umbrella themes of “postcolonial ecclesiology and theology,” “horizons for justice,” and “missional and pastoral possibilities.”
