This book aims to describe and analyse the political and social
thinking, attitudes and actions of the English Protestant churches
since the late eighteenth century. It focuses in particular on how
they have responded to the plight of the least privileged members of
society – individuals and groups marginalised or placed at a
disadvantage as a consequence of their ethnicity or socioeconomic
circumstances. These have been the nation’s underdogs, the most
powerless of its inhabitants, and this book explores the involvement
of the churches in attempting to create a fairer society, from the
anti-slavery campaign to the present day.
