Flynn The Church is a pilgrim people, in the process of discovering God’s e| truth as it seeks to respond faithfully to the particular challenges and opportunities of its own time and place. Such a statement inevitably raises questions about the man- ner in which this “pilgrim people” goes about “the process of discovering God’s truth”, about what is authoritative and how it is authoritative. And since this statement comes from an Anglican source, the questions it raises are about what is au- thoritative for Anglicans and how it is authoritative for them. With the rest of Western civilization, Anglicans have in- herited notions of authority that were originally grounded in I Roman culture. ^ That authority is three-fold: (a) the respect, I dignity or importance of the person concerned; (b) the qua- I lity of concerned; (c) the office or function fulfilled, I the person Only persons are subjects of authority; to speak of something, j is in I such as a book, as authoritative to use the term a deriva- ^ tive sense.

However, they have also consistently condemned homophobia during this period (and often seemed unaware of their own complicity in it). This thesis draws on the work of René Girard to analyse popular English evangelical writings and the ways in which they have implicitly encouraged violence against gays even whilst explicitly condemning it. This analysis of evangelical writings on homosexuality is placed in its historical context by drawing on the work of relevant historians and social scientists. It is further contextualised by reference to an analysis of evangelical writings on holiness during the same period. The thesis argues that English evangelical violence towards gays is a byproduct of internal conflicts within English evangelicalism.

The recession led to bank failures and high unemployment, along with dramatic drops in Gross Domestic Product, industrial production, stock market share prices and virtually every other measure of economic growth. The depression bottomed out in 1933, but it was well after World War II before such indicators as industrial production, share prices and global GDP could surpass their 1929 levels.
