Product Overview
Leadership is a growing preoccupation of the contemporary church, but
for some of the most inspiring examples of good leadership we need to go
back, not forwards. Archbishop William Temple is widely regarded as one
of the most influential church leaders of the twentieth century. In
this book Stephen Spencer unpacks Archbishop Temple’s life and legacy,
and the ways in which his leadership transformed society in remarkable
ways. From education to politics, and from spiritual direction to
leading the church through national crisis, this book draws on Temple’s
biography to offer a unique and profound portrait of the kind of servant
leadership the church needs today.
Stephen Spencer is Director for Theological Education at the Anglican Communion Office, London.
