This paper reviews the ambiguity behind the notion of Christian education in its application to Anglican (Church of England) schools, together with the ambiguities surrounding Anglicanism itself. It reflects on Anglican authority, comprehensiveness and distinctiveness, and on the established and parochial character of the Church of England, noting the theological and educational implications of these characteristic elements. Accounts of the "spirit of Anglicanism" are discussed, with particular reference to this Church's claims to tolerance, inclusiveness, openness, freedom and a lay character; as well as issues relating to English character, Christian values and the role of worship and theological reflection in any Anglican theology of education.
