Abstract

This chapter engages the moniker of ‘Marriage and Divorce’ as seen in both the popular press and the academy. I work through theological and ecclesial concepts of this theme in relation to Britain’s membership of the EU, and since the referendum, how this theme might describe the relationship between Leavers and Remainers. Different statistical analyses of the referendum result are introduced here, with the intention of producing a composite portrait of a person who supported leaving and one who supported staying. The complexity and messiness of the current socio-politico-economic and cultural milieu may have some illumination for a theology often caught placing great weight on abstract ideas in concrete human situations.
