Author Mark Harris, an Episcopal priest, says that Anglicans mostly define themselves by reflecting on their experience rather than by defining distinct theology or doctrine. Anglicans feel that their reason for being is bound up not with being Anglicans but with being Christians. This reticence to embrace an identity using the methods of other religious communities is a clear mark of Anglicanism, and yet, the identity as the Anglican Communion is a justifiable fellowship for this community. In this provocative text, the author addresses issues of authority and identity in the Anglican Communion as it emerges from modernity and explores a vision for it for the coming years.
