Reviews"This is a book I've been waiting for. The Episcopal way of following Jesus and being Christian may be one of the best kept secrets in the western world. Finally someone has taken the light out from under the bushel. Let it shine!" --The Most Rev. Michael B. Curry, the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, "This book lays out clearly what is often overlooked about the Episcopal Church: precisely because we remain deeply rooted in catholic soil, we understand that Christianity is about embracing connection in every direction. At our best, we're not afraid of connection. Spellers and Law start from that premise, and provide rich and varied practical guidance for any diocese, congregation or individual wishing to re-emphasize our tradition's commitment to the common good. The discussion is fresh, lively, and often provocative. A good read." --The Rt. Rev. Thomas E. Breidenthal, IX Bishop of Southern Ohio, "Transitional times send us back to our core values. Spellers and Law help us see again our core; we are a people gathered by baptism for partnership with the God revealed in Jesus Christ for the healing of the world. This work honors our past as a church, explains our now and fires us into our future with hope." --The Rt. Rev. Rob Wright D.D., X Bishop of Atlanta
