This is the tenth volume of the JAS and it marks a significant stage in the work of this journal. We began this project in the context of conflict among Anglicans and the need to engage in serious and committed conversation on the Anglican tradition of beliefs and practices. In the Editorial of the first issue we said that ‘The Journal of Anglican Studies sets out to provide for and to encourage that conversation among Anglican scholars around the world.’ Furthermore,
An important aspect of this challenge arises for Anglicans from the enormous disparities between different parts of the world in terms of resources, not just physical resources but, for the purposes of this exercise, resources for scholarship and the development of theological disciplines. It will be important, therefore, for the Journal of Anglican Studies to encourage contributions that reflect the full range of contexts in which Anglican scholars work.
We have been very fortunate in being able to publish articles on a broad range of subjects from all points of view and locations in the first ten volumes. In order to further that vision we are very pleased to announce the appointment of a number of Regional Associate Editors around the world to represent the JAS and encourage authors from their region to contribute to the wider conversation on Anglicanism around the world. We are very grateful to these people, who are distinguished scholars in their own right, for being willing to join in the JAS project. The appointments we have now made are:
