Summary
As the vast configurations and reconfigurations of the war unfolded British Christians found themselves drawn to new alliances at home. The vigorous national consensus inspired by the crisis of 1940 saw a new attention fixed on the possibilities of Christian cooperation. Much of this ran into well-worn grooves, for ecumenical enterprises had entered into the ordinary assumptions of many Anglicans and Free Church people and become conventional to them. Not so collaboration between Protestants and Catholics.
