Pioneers of Modern Spirituality: The neglected Anglican innovators of a ‘spiritual but not religious’ age

Distinguished British historian and theologian Jane Shaw introduces four innovators of Anglican spirituality from the early twentieth-century – Percy Dearmer, Evelyn Underhill, Somerset Ward and Rose Macaulay – and suggests how they might help us develop a renewed Anglican spirituality for our own ‘spiritual but not religious’ age.

Jane Shaw is a British historian and Anglican priest. She is currently Dean for Religious Life and Professor of religious Studies at Stanford University.
