Biography
Andrew Bishop is a priest of the Church of England. He has served in parishes in London and Basingstoke over fifteen years. Andrew obtained an MTh in Pastoral Theology from Heythrop College, London and DThMin from King’s College, London. He is currently a Residentiary Canon of Guildford Cathedral and Anglican and Coordinating Chaplain to the University of Surrey. He is a member of the Alcuin Club and Society for Liturgical Study.
"Gabriel Hebert's Liturgy and Society is an important book, however its influence has not been fully recognised in contemporary Anglican ecclesiology. In this book, Andrew Bishop addresses that oversight. He engages with Hebert's text in order to explore the place and function of the church in today's world; he enriches our understanding of personhood, worship and mission. By echoing Hebert's non-anxious and generous spirit, this offers a vision of discipleship and witness rooted in the Eucharist whilst remaining attentive to the world." – Julie Gittoes, Residentiary Canon at Guildford Cathedral, UK
"In this study Andrew Bishop re-reads Gabriel Hebert's writings, and, marshalling a range of conversation partners, persuasively argues that a church that is able to participate in the missio dei is a church that is first shaped by worship, and that a church that is shaped by worship is a church that is both in and for the world." – Christopher Irvine, Canon Librarian and Director of Education, Canterbury Cathedral, UK
