This book is a collection of essays by leading theologians and
church leaders on the implications of the proposed Anglican
Covenant, which has been offered as a solution to the recent crises
facing worldwide Anglicanism. At the Anglican Primates' meeting in
February 2007, a draft Covenant was commended for study by the
constituent churches of the Anglican Communion. This book presents
a sober and dispassionate discussion of the theology and politics
behind the Covenant. The writers represent a number of different
theological traditions and disciplines within and beyond
Anglicanism. What unites them is a desire to understand other
opinions and to listen to different views. The contributors include
theological educators, church historians, ethicists, biblical
scholars, and canonists from different parts of the Anglican
Communion and from ecumenical partners. While the book aims to be
dispassionate and to stand apart from the rhetoric of
ecclesiastical parties, it also offers original and
thought-provoking discussions based on detailed and thorough
scholarship. Affirming Catholicism is a progressive movement in the
Anglican Church, drawing inspiration and hope from the Catholic
tradition, confident that it will bear the gifts of the past into
the future. The books in this series aim to make the Catholic
element within Anglicanism once more a positive force for the
Gospel, and a model for effective mission today.

"If we are to be edified by our worship, we need to think about the
words we are using, so that we can make them our own." The Book of
Common Prayer is a valuable teaching resource in the Church, yet
because of its unusual language, it can be, in places, hard to
understand. In this little booklet, Roger Beckwith takes us through
the Book of Common Prayer, explaining the meanings of words and
phrases to help us to understand them more fully.
This is both a lively introduction to the history and expression of
the rich and diverse Anglican spiritual tradition and a strikingly
original contribution to the issues that underlie its current
crisis and threaten to tear it apart. Barlett suggests that
Anglican spirituality and theology are not only resilient enough to
survive the present malaise but have the potential to be a most
effective 'post-modern' expression of the Christian faith.

The quintessential man for his own season, Noble Powell (1891-1968)
was an episcopal priest and then bishop who epitomized the cultural
and ecclesiastical epoch before the tumultuous sixties. This
volume, the first biography devoted to a dynamic churchman often
referred to as "the last bishop of the old church", fills a major
gap in American religious historiography while illuminating the
strengths, flaws, and eventual decline of the Protestant
establishment in the United States.
Deeply influenced by the beliefs and practices of a mix of
southern denominations, Powell was raised a Baptist and confirmed
(to his family's chagrin) in the Episcopal Church. As parson at the
University of Virginia, Powell led a flourishing student ministry
before serving successively as rector of Emmanuel Church in
Baltimore, dean of the National Cathedral, and bishop of the
Diocese of Maryland.
Hein sketches the spiritual depth, self-discipline, sense of
humor, and personal magnetism that anchored Powell's unwavering
commitment to the human side of the church. He shows how Powell's
outlook as bishop dovetailed with the prevailing temper of his time
and also discusses how Powell's leadership style, marked by
patience and an aristocratic civility, diminished in effectiveness
amid the upheaval of the 1960s.
In 11 essays by leading Anglican scholars, this book clarifies what
sets Anglicanism apart from other denominations and offers clarity
for the future of the communion.

Paying attention to the world is a particular Christian calling,
and one this author is well qualified to elucidate. These writings
are at the interface of the life of the Church and ordinary life,
and reflect an apprenticeship as an Anglican priest, involving an
exploration of the resources which the tradition offers, in order
to confront certain problems in the world. This is an era in which
re-imagining the role of a priest is both important, and
inescapably personal, and bound up with narrative. The ideas appear
in response to particular questions and contexts, such as
chaplaincy, village life, and working with clergy to understand
their calling. Secular themes such as power, money, sex and time
run through all the writing, as well as religious themes such as
Scripture, liturgy, vocation, the place of the local church, and
living a Christian Life.
For two hundred years since 1805 the tale of St. Peter's Episcopal
Church has been entwined with the story of the historic city of
Auburn, New York. From the close of the American Revolution to the
development of nineteenth century industry, Auburn has had
significance as the location of international manufacturing and as
the home of William Henry Seward. Thanks to the preservation of St.
Peter's vital records, an account of the venerable parish's
involvement in Auburn's history has been professionally written by
the Rev. Robert Curtis Ayers, Ph.D. Dr. Ayers specializes in
ecclesiastical history and is Rector Emeritus of the present Auburn
parish of Saints Peter and John. From Tavern to Temple: St. Peter's
CHurch, Auburn: The First Hundred Years details the social
development of the parish, with special attention to the role of
women, as well as the part that individual clergy and laymen played
in the development of the church
European Pentecostalism was fortunate in having the wise and
balanced leadership of the evangelical Anglican Alexander Boddy at
its disposal during the formative years of the early 1900s. This
wellresearched and vivid book tells the story of how Boddy helped
to define the doctrine and stance of the first generation of
Pentecostals. Wakefield brings to life the vigorous discussion of
charismata that occupied the minds of early Spiritfilled believers.
He charts Boddys training, explains his beliefs and his
spirituality, records his personal and pastoral work in
northeastern England and explains the style and direction of his
leadership. Boddy was an important figure, even a great man and now
for the first time a fulllength biography of his life and work is
available.
