* Well-known and well-loved bishop of the Episcopal Church and
Anglican Communion This official biography tells the compelling
story of the Rt. Rev. Mark Dyer: Irish Catholic boy from New
Hampshire, U.S. Navy vet, Roman Catholic then Episcopal priest,
bishop, and seminary professor-and one of the most influential,
beloved leaders of the American Episcopal Church and the worldwide
Anglican Communion. Following a dispute with ecclesiastical
authorities, Dyer left the Roman Church for the Anglican Church of
Canada. Later received as priest in the Episcopal Church, his gifts
as teacher, preacher, and pastor were recognized with election as
Bishop of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. There, he established a new
model of leadership, delegating administrative duties to
concentrate on spiritual direction, pastoral care, and creating
mission projects at every church in his diocese. Also renowned as a
story-teller, many of his favorite stories appear here, told in his
own voice. Called by leadership of the Anglican Communion to a
variety of roles, for more than 20 years Bishop Dyer was on the
front lines of the most contentious issues facing the church
throughout the world, including ordination of women and gay people.
He also was co-chair of the ecumenical dialogue between the
Anglican and Eastern Orthodox Churches, which produced a landmark
agreement after 17 years of meetings.
