I am compiling a list of "One Hundred Great Anglican
Books." This is entirely for my own edification and amusement, although I
hope it will provoke thoughtful discussion. Currently, the list skews heavily
toward white, British, male 19th and 20th century writers, so I am seeking
additional authors who are (1) women; (2) evangelicals; (3) from Australia, New
Zealand, and the farther reaches of the Anglican Communion; (4) from the 16th,
17th, and 18th centures; (5) from the developing world. I welcome suggestions,
however keep in mind that (1) this is completely subjective; and (2) I am the
benevolent overlord and my decisions are absolute and final. That said, please
send your suggestions to anglcan@aol.com. Thanks.
