Fight valiantly
evil and the devil in the liturgy
By Tom Clammer
In the landscape of Anglican worship, questions about evil and spiritual darkness often receive fragmented or inconsistent treatment, leaving congregations without clear guidance on one of humanity's most pressing spiritual concerns. Tom Clammer addresses this significant gap in "Fight Valiantly," offering a comprehensive examination of how the Church of England approaches the reality of evil within its sacred practices.
Drawing from the church's foundational doctrinal sources, Clammer explores three crucial areas of liturgical life: initiation ceremonies, healing ministries, and deliverance practices. His investigation reveals how these essential spiritual disciplines currently handle questions about darkness, temptation, and malevolent forces, exposing inconsistencies that may confuse rather than guide faithful seekers.
This scholarly yet accessible work serves both clergy and laypeople who seek deeper understanding of how their faith tradition addresses evil's presence in the world. Rather than offering simple answers, Clammer provides the analytical framework necessary for developing more coherent approaches to these challenging spiritual realities.
For those wrestling with questions about darkness and light in their spiritual journey, this book offers valuable insights into how liturgical practice shapes our understanding of good and evil. Clammer's careful analysis helps readers recognize the importance of consistent theological grounding when confronting life's most difficult spiritual challenges.
