Preface
I have incurred a significant number of debts in the creation of this
book, and some of them are of long standing. Never far away from
my thoughts is my grandfather, Eddy, whose great love for the Angli-
can tradition was kindled also in me when I was very young. I cherish
memories of exploring Ely Cathedral, where he had been a boy choris-
ter, with him and of discovering under his tutelage the great glories of
liturgy and music to which Thomas Cranmer’s church gave rise. My
other grandfather, Ben, was equally well versed in the history of Tudor
and Stuart England and encouraged the early delight I took in this
period. I fondly remember our historical conversations even now.
The libraries in which I have pursued the documentary research have
been far apart, but in each the helpfulness, courtesy and professional-
ism of the staff has been incomparable and invaluable. For Lambeth
Palace Library in London, the Phillips Library at Aurora University
and the Harold Washington and Newberry libraries in Chicago I am
therefore duly grateful and to their dedicated librarians I offer my sin-
cere thanks.
.de My editor at Canterbury Press, Natalie Watson, first suggested that I
vrese essay a volume in this series and then affirmed my enthusiasm to return
r sth to my Reformation roots and focus on Archbishop Cranmer. She has
g
ir llA been tolerant of my inability to finish on time, understanding about
.dtL the other commitments in my life which vied with this one, thoughtful,
n
re wise and practical with her suggestions and generous with her friend-
d
o
M & ship, by which I am blessed.
tne It’s been a privilege too to work on this project in two places: First
icn
A United Methodist Church in Downers Grove, where the congregation
sn
m looked with grace, kindness and enthusiasm on my ongoing research
yH
.2 interests, and Aurora University, where I currently work and teach. In

thg the staff, and especially Sharon Harman, Diane Hires, Diane Kerr and
irypo Andi Kinsella for assistance of all kinds with this and other projects.

God Truly Worshipped
At Aurora University, I’ve been fortunate in acquiring a range of sup-
portive and thoughtful colleagues and in benefitting from a general en-
couragement of scholarship and enquiry. My thanks to David Fink for
the helpful Reformation conversations and to good faculty colleagues
for support of all kinds in the last year, and especially to Jeanine Clark
Bremer, Jen Buckley, Gerald Butters, Kris Johnson, Henry Kronner,
Barbara Strassberg and Jessica Thurlow. President Rebecca Sherrick’s
support for and affirmation of faculty research and scholarly interests
deployed in the service of our students and the wider world is critical
and much appreciated. Above all, I’m again indebted to my friend and
colleague Martin Forward for his unflagging support for my writing
career, for our enlightening chats about the Tudors in general and his
insightful comments on the material itself and for countless cups of
(really good) coffee along the way.
In the course of compiling and placing in context these works, I have
again and again been mindful of my Anglican friends, who have, over
the years, enabled this low-church Methodist better to appreciate the
beauty and depth of their tradition. As a child, I was lucky that our
dear family friends, the Shirleys, holidayed with us. The ‘ABC’ tours
which Anne and my mother instituted on these occasions were of ines-
timable delight and benefit to me: although I think not viewed quite so
enthusiastically by all the children in our party. Still, I at least am grate-
ful: to Anne, for guided ecclesiastical tours sometimes conducted in the
face of the disapproval of the official cathedral volunteers; and to Tony
who, though not born an Anglican, nevertheless ensured that appropri-
ate refreshment concluded such excursions and whose presence with
.d
e
vre us is still much missed. Graham Finch nobly fostered my interest by

ir llA .d since. I am the richer for conversations with and the friendship of Dr
tL n Fraser Watts, whose attractive and compelling understanding of the
re
do potential of Anglicanism’s gifts for modernity has always inspired me.
M
& tn Bishop Geoffrey Rowell was a model college chaplain and continues
e
icn to be a mentor and valued counsellor across denominational divides.
A
sn My friends Peter Baugh, Karen Turner, Justin White and William Parry
m
yH have similarly educated and helped me. Twenty years after we met and
