Description: --What is Anglicanism and how is it distinctive? --Where did it come from and where is it ? --Which beliefs, values, and practices stand at the heart of this important, global Communion? --How can its rich heritage help it move into the future? This book is an essential guide to the Anglican tradition for anyone who has ever wondered what Anglicanism-the largest Protestant denomination in the world-is all about. Now fully updated and significantly revised, this second edition of Our Anglican Heritage gives voice to the strong and vibrant evangelical roots of Anglican Christianity. Events at the start of the twenty-first century have threatened to tear the Communion apart. The authors of this book, both Episcopal clergy, each responded to the crisis in different ways. One, a bishop, chose to stay in the Episcopal Church. The other chose to lead his congregation out of the Episcopal Church and into another Anglican Province. This book is a reflection of the strong faith and heritage they still share, and a recommitment to the biblical principles that still undergird and enliven Anglicanism. Endorsements: ""I very much hope that all of you will read this excellent little book, Our Anglican Heritage. It is clear, it is forthright, it is well written, it is pungent, it is faithful, it is courageous."" --Rev. John R.W. Stott Rector Emeritus, All Souls Anglican Church, ""In a way one could say that Christ Church, Plano was built on the first edition of Our Anglican Heritage. Ever since I read it twenty-five years ago, it has been the staple that we recommend and give to all of our new members. In its new edition, the authors have done it again. They have given the church a clear and compelling account of what Anglicanism is, where it came from, and how it can be a trusted, magnificent, and reliable way of living out the Christian Faith."" --The Rev. David H. Roseberry Rector, Christ Church in Plano, Texas ""The publication of a new edition of Bishop Howe's Our Anglican Heritage is an event to be celebrated Anglicanism can only be understood through its history, and here is a readable, fair, and concise account of that history.
