The Church of England has traditionally been broad and its various wings and movements have ensured that questions of belief and doctrine, of relations with the state and with other churches have been hard fought.

As the General Synod prepares to meet in York, Chris Cviic assesses the balance offerees within the Church of England and asks what kind of institution may emerge from the current uncertainties. Producer FRASER STEEL
