As religion's status and place within society is contested in the post-secular age, Manchester Cathedral is a fascinating case study of the potential role that cathedrals and other religious institutions may be able to play in various public settings. While the church's membership declines in the UK, Manchester Cathedral operates as a spiritual hub in the area of Greater Manchester. Using primary data gathered on the ground, this work explores Manchester Cathedral's public theologies of inclusion which lie at the heart of its various activities and practices. Focusing most explicitly on the cathedral's interfaith work, anti-racism work, and its theology of LGBTQIA+ inclusion, the author explores the potential strengths and weaknesses of religious engagement in the contemporary post-secular age. In this book Budhi-Thornton seeks to contribute to questions about the relationship between the religious and the secular, tradition and innovation, inclusion and distinctiveness. Drawing on a wide range of theological and philosophical traditions, Budhi-Thornton puts forward a case for the development of a public theological hospitality that remains open to the work of the Spirit in the life of the Other.
