“…83 Coakley and Ward are both, notes Cocksworth, of a generation inclined to be circumspect about the possibility and good of all-encompassing systematic projects, and while Coakley situates her theology in patterns of prayer and clearly sees the centrality of prayer as Anglican, this, argues Cocksworth, functions not in a totalizing but a destabilizing way. 84 However, Tonstad has held that Coakley may be insufficiently reflexive about the ways in which such obedient receptivity-in-contemplation can become weaponized by rapacious institutional machines such as the prison system, 85 even if Coakley's purported intent is to recognize God's profound distinction from human structures.…”

Gender and sexuality are potent flashpoints showing up deep fissures in Anglican ecclesiology and identity. There has been growing attention to the power imbalances within Anglican hierarchies. Whether in African leaders’ public disavowals of what they consider Western Christian backsliding, or in social media discussions about the Anglican churches’ positions on their clergy’s and ordinands’ sex lives, old orders of authority are no longer operating unchallenged. Here, Anglican self-understanding of itself as a tradition characterized by comprehensiveness and broadness is assessed through the lens of decolonial theology, interrogating norms of power. In a context of continued dismantling of imperial structures of power and decreased toleration of the maintenance of old hierarchies associated with empire, the concept of unity as a good in itself is likely, where this is perceived to stem from a desire to uphold imperial control, to be challenged.
