- Title

- Abstract
This paper examines English Anglican and Free Church evangelical reactions to the Church of England's Prayer Book revision proposals in 1927-1928, arguing that their responses reveal the resilience of Protestant national identity and anti-Catholicism within English evangelicalism during this period. The concept of a Protestant nation, reformed heritage and Protestant constitution remained integral to the English evangelical identity. The robust 'no-popery' response of evangelicals in 1927-1928 points to the durability of the Protestant national narrative in English culture and society beyond the nineteenth century and suggests that the liberal Anglican vision of a broadly Christian national identity had a significant ideological rival in the interwar period.
