Updated with a new cover, this is an indispensable resource for
your home or parish office. With more than 3,000 clearly written
entries, this book will be a handy, quick, general reference for
Episcopalians, both lay and ordained. It includes material specific
to the Episcopal Church and its history and polity, liturgy and
theology, as well as subjects relevant to the whole church. Entries
range from Aaronic Benediction to Zwingli.
This volume is a documentary history of the Episcopal Church from
1782 to 1985. The documents selected illustrate what the Episcopal
Church believes and what it has done. They also show how the
Episcopal Church has developed in the context of American culture.
The documents are arranged chronologically in thematic chapters.
Care has been taken to see that the documents are widely
representative of various positions in the church. The editors hope
that the reader can hear the history and drama of the Episcopal
Church through the many voices assembled here. The goal has been to
let these witnesses speak for themselves, with few editorial inter
ruptions. These documents have much to say about the Episcopal
Church: what it has been, what it is, and what it needs to be.
The variety and depth of Anglican theology is best engaged through
personal encounter with its many sources - the theologians and
theological witnesses themselves. Anglican theology is often worked
out in personal terms that provide a synthesis between reflection
on the truths of faith and the particular contexts of culture and
life. This book presents modern Anglican theology through a unique
'gallery'. This theological gallery includes a portrait or sketch
of ten Anglican writers - DuBose, Farrer, Stringfellow, Brooks,
Kemper, DeKoven, McCord Adams, Polkinghorne, Gore and Macquarrie.
Theological description, interpretation and application are
included for each, with the presentations differing as widely as
the theologians and theological witnesses themselves. Drawing
together understandings and experiences of faith, this will be an
invaluable resource for students of Anglican theology and anyone
who seeks to understand the distinctive perspectives and
contributions of Anglicanism relative to living faith and daily
life.

Description: Who was William Stringfellow? Like most prophets, he
was brilliant. But he was also, like most prophets, difficult,
irascible, suspicious, contentious--and full of courage. He was a
lawyer, a social activist, and a dedicated communicant of the
Episcopal Church. He graduated from Harvard Law School in the 1950s
but put aside the promise of a lucrative career and went to work in
East Harlem, one of New York City's poorest neighborhoods. At the
height of the Vietnam War, he took the Reverend Daniel Berrigan
into his home and was indicted for harboring a fugitive. In the
1970s, while the Episcopal Church was struggling with such issues
as the ordination of women and the funding of programs for
minorities, he accused the ecclesiastical hierarchy of arrogance,
duplicity, and lack of leadership. Everything William Stringfellow
said and did was grounded in his profound belief in the Incarnation
and the Eschaton. He knew Jesus Christ to be the Word of God, who
is in all things and who challenges the powers and principalities
of this world, calling people and institutions to repentance and
newness of life. In Prophet of Justice, Prophet of Life editor
Robert Boak Slocum has gathered a diverse group of clergy, legal
scholars, and seminary faculty to produce this stimulating and
provocative series of essays on the life and work of William
Stringfellow.
