What is it about?

In this edited collection of essays 29 Episcopalians consider the tradition and future of their church. Several essayists write urgently that the Episcopal Church must change if its is to survive. Others contend that American Anglicanism can work if Episcopalians will reclaim and reaffirm their liturgical, spiritual, and theological heritage. Other writers suggest that points of apparent opposition might indeed coexist in the church of the future-- taking vibrant, and perhaps paradoxical new forms.
