This revised edition of the now-classic text on the Episcopal Church brings the story up-to-date with a new chapter on the 1990's. show more This new chapter pays special attention to the Church's renewal efforts, Presiding Bishop Browning's time in office, the issue of homosexuality, changing leadership dynamics, liturgical change, and Lambeth 1998. show lessTags
