I hate books about churches that "try too hard". This one doesn't. It's "playful", intriguing, even entertaining without insulting your intelligence. I admit some bias. As an Anglican

convert its hard to fault a book like this. Its brevity gives the reader enough to spur on one's own research including visit to a local church to see if it matches what is described in the book. The author seemsat home with many Anglican clergy and associates I have met over the years. You won't be disappointed.

First off, I am a "cradle" Episcopalian so I am very familiar with the Anglican way. I really enjoyed reading this book. Often I laughed at the humor of the author. Frequently I took out my highlighter to underline a meaningful passage. Many times I yelled YES!! This book is an easy read and would be excellent for a book study. It did a great job discussing the Anglican approach to authority, the Bible and ethics. I believe that if more people (including clergy) really understood the founding principles of the Anglican Church there would be a whole lot less tension (verging on schism)in our church today. In the words of Queen Elizabeth I "There is only one Christ, Jesus... All else is a dispute over trifles."
