Description

"This book provides the first comprehensive account of an important but neglected aspect of the history of the nineteenth-century Church of England: the reform of its diocesan structures. Through an investigation of reforms including the restoration of the office of rural dean, the creation of diocesan societies and assemblies, and the development of more effective relations between bishop, cathedral, and diocese, the book demonstrates that a 'diocesan revival' occurred in the Church, which began well before the 1830s, the decade in which effective Church reform is often said to have commenced."--BOOK JACKET.
