Resurrection: Interpreting the Easter Gospel 3 reviews Rowan Williams
Pilgrim Press, 2003
Lively Theology
+ Absolutely Fantastic + Extraordinary theological work
Last semester, I taught Introduction to Theology at my seminary with a soon-to-be ordained Episcopalian (the American 'flavour' for Anglican), and we used as the final book for the semester Rowan Williams' text 'Resurrection: Interpreting the Easter Gospel'.

Religious Experience 1 review William Temple
Lutterworth Press, 2002
Inner Temple
Temple was, in the words of G.B. Shaw, `a realised impossibility.' A man born and raised in the church, he rose to the position of Archbishop of Canterbury and made the broad church appeal for Anglicanism that renewed its spirit for the mid-twentieth century. Temple's general faith and theology ...

To a certain extent, this book is a bit dated. `The Baptismal Mystery and the Catechumenate' is a compilation of papers presented at a conference in 1988, in response to a General Convention (of the Episcopal Church) directive toward developing catechumenal rites. The results are now incorporated ...

The Book of Occasional Services 1994 2 reviews
Church Pub Inc, 2000
Every now and then...
+ Worship in every season
It is an oft-quoted joke that if you ask an Anglican to pray, the Anglican will first reach for a book. Reality is, as it often is, twice as true and half as funny, but for a particular reason. The Anglican liturgical style is very rooted in tradition, and while innovation is acceptable, it must ...
