From William Wilberforce to Desmond Tutu, this book features a rich variety of Anglican men and women who were audacious enough to have made a significant difference in the societies in which they lived.

The authors are of the view, that the diversity of the Anglican ethos has nurtured a wide range of persons with prophetic attitudes to the settings of the world around them.  This has led to bold questions and actions in the face of the "established thinking" of their time, especially where the thinking engendered affronts to human dignity and justice.

It is hoped that the persons and organisations identified in this book may serve to inspire, by example, those - both lay and ordained - engaged in ministries in the Anglican and wider Christian communities.
