“There was the emphasis upon the Incarnation, the striving after synthesis between theology and contemporary culture which the term ‘liberal’ broadly denotes, the frequent shift of interest from dogma to apologetics. But if these were the more dated characteristics, there were also the more permanent ones, seldom absent from Anglican divinity in any age: the appeal to Scripture, and the Fathers, the fondness for Nicene categories, the union of doctrine and liturgy, the isolation from continental influences.”
–Arthur Michael Ramsey, An Era In Anglican Theology (New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1960), p. viii
