This review is from: A People Called Episcopalians: A Brief Introduction To Our Peculiar Way Of Life (Paperback)
John Westerhoff does a splendid job of explaining the Anglican tradition and the Episcopal Church's connection to it in a small, reader-friendly book. It is especially useful for people who are coming into the Episcopal Church from other faith traditions, and the book's price makes it possible to order quantities for giving to newcomers. At a time when the Anglican Communion and The Episcopal Church are at ever-increasing odds, his work is a valuable reminder of TEC's roots and the faith that has grounded her for a very long time.

This review is from: A People Called Episcopalians: A Brief Introduction To Our Peculiar Way Of Life (Paperback)
This short book is a great introduction to the Episcopal way of thinking. Rev. Westerhoff does a great service to the reader by showing through his very readable prose what makes the Episcopal Church both Catholic and Protestant. For the Cathoic reader, one will immediately feel and understand the kinship of the Episcopal Church with the Roman one, and also appreciate the very fundamental differences in theological and speculative freedom offered by the Anglican approach. The Anglican Way is predicated on the three legged stool of scripture, tradition and reason - and Rev. Westerhoff used all three expertly in this little book to explain a People Called Episcopalians.
