Contemporary exorcism in England has seen a notable resurgence, particularly within independent churches, despite the Church of England's historical skepticism towards such practices. Francis Young explores how the Anglican Church, which once viewed exorcisms as superstition, has adapted by designating clergy for "deliverance ministry" since the 1970s. This shift represents a significant and unlikely evolution within a tradition that historically condemned the expulsion of evil spirits, highlighting the complexities of faith and belief in modern society.
