Description: In 1860 the Diocese of Durham launched a mission to bring Christianity - and specifically Anglicanism - to the population of the Durham coalfield. This book explores how the Church of England in Durham handled its mission. It reveals how the Durham experience relates to national attempts to maintain Anglicanism's relevance in a secular society.
