IV. To ignore the theology of monarchy is to ignore the theology of law and the importance of both to Anglican history. Richard Hooker’s Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity was a defense of both monarchy and law. Because we have not yet conceived of ourselves as post-monarchical, we have not yet begun to consider the meaning of law for our post-monarchical church.This is very interesting, I'm at one level not sure what to make of this, I know from my exprience of working at St.Peter's Cathedral that here in Adelaide there is a great following of St.Edward the confessor due to his theology of law and they had a strong belief that it made alot of sense. They of course were all monarchists as well. This though is not looking towards a post-monarchical church which extends beyond the realms of the British Commonwealth. Does Anglicanism need to seek a certan legal system? And if so what legal system or what does it need to look like?
