Review
"To this story Hein ... brings balance, sensitivity and exhaustive research. As 'the last bishop of the old church,' Noble Powell will be remembered longer than many of his predecessors." -- James H. Bready, Baltimore Sun ADVANCE PRAISE "This warm, positive appreciation of 'the last bishop of the old church' illuminates an era too often neglected by historians of religion in American culture. Noble Powell was a nurturer and guardian of spiritual values, embodying the pastoral qualities of moderation, order, patience, and peace-down-to-earth virtues that affected more people and policies than doctrine ever did. Hein's elegant prose and sound interpretive judgments portray an exemplary leader whose tact and gentle charm persisted into an age increasingly characterized by disillusionment with traditional institutions and insistence on radical change." - Henry Warner Bowden, author of The Dictionary of American Religious Biography "This is a vivid and persuasive account of an old virtue long seen as a cornerstone of the Christian life: friendship, binding together believers with one another and all of them with their risen Lord. The life of Noble Powell, longtime bishop of Maryland, is eloquent advocacy for the transformative power of Christian friendship, because he so powerfully embodied the message he preached. David Hein's beautifully written and entirely accessible biography chronicles one man's determination to keep faith with what he perceived to be the unchanging essentials of the Episcopal Church... This is a splendid book." -David Baily Harned, author of Patience: How We Wait Upon the World
