Review:
"Recommended for libraries."-Library Journal
"[A] superior introduction to the Episcopal Church and its American heritage."-Anglican and Episcopal History

Hein and Shattuck have risen to the challenge with this lively, well-balanced, and readable book....Highly recommended. General readers; lower-level undergraduates and above."-Choice
