Christopher Craig Brittain offers a wide-ranging examination of
specific events within The Episcopal Church (TEC) by drawing upon
an analysis of theological debates within the church, field
interviews in church congregations, and sociological literature on
church conflict. The discussion demonstrates that interpretations
describing the situation in TEC as a culture war between liberals
and conservatives are deeply flawed. Moreover, the book shows that
the splits that are occurring within the national church are not so
much schisms in the technical sociological sense, but are more
accurately described as a familial divorce, with all the ongoing
messy entwinement that this term evokes. The interpretation of the
dispute offered by the book also counters prominent accounts
offered by leaders within The Episcopal Church. The Presiding
Bishop, Katharine Jefferts-Schori, has portrayed some opponents of
her theological positions and her approach to ethical issues as
being 'fundamentalist', while other 'Progressives' liken their
opponents to the Tea Party movement.
