This revised edition of the classic text on Episcopal Church history brings the story of the Church up-to-date with a new chapter on the 1990's. 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. "A truly inclusive story of the church's life in the USA and overseas. The attention to women, African-Americans, Native-Americans, and hearing-impaired, and also to those of recent 'lifestyles' is well done." -The Rev. Samuel M. Garrett, Professor Emeritus Church Divinity School of the Pacific Robert W. Prichard is Professor of Church History at the Protestant Episcopal Theological Seminary in Alexandria, Virginia.
