Breaking with Tradition? The Church of England and Community Organising
This article explores the recent association between the Church of England, through its Church Urban Fund, and Community Organising, an approach to community mobilisation deriving from the work of Saul Alinsky in the United States. Community Organising and the Anglican social tradition are compared and contrasted. Empirical research of the early Community Organising experiments in Bristol and on Merseyside is then used to assess the implications of Anglican involvement for the successful application of this American approach in an English context.
