The author was challenged by reading Nick Hornby's popular novel How to be Good into wondering what Anglicanism has to say about being good. A variety of contemporary views is surveyed. These suggest that goodness comes from worshipping with other Christians, by thinking, or by reading Scripture. Next he explores the approach taken to moral formation by the seventeenth century Anglican bishop Jeremy Taylor. He suggests that goodness comes from the dynamic interrelationship between right appetites and formative actions.
