A clear, welcoming introduction to The Episcopal Church, written for seekers, newcomers, and anyone curious.
Ideal for inquirers, newcomers, confirmation classes, and both youth and adult study groups, this book invites readers into the Episcopal tradition without presuming prior knowledge. Its clear question-and-answer structure keeps learning accessible and unintimidating, offering concise, thoughtful responses that fit easily into busy lives. Beneath that simplicity, however, lies a careful engagement with the beliefs, practices, and traditions that define Episcopal faith, marrying clarity with real theological depth.
Readers will find honest, accessible responses to many of the questions people most often ask, including: What do Episcopalians believe about the Bible? Why does the Church practice infant baptism? Why does God permit evil and suffering? What are the sacraments, and why do they matter? Is it acceptable for a bishop to question the Virgin Birth? Why is the Book of Common Prayer so central to Episcopal identity? How does the Prayer Book relate to Scripture? What is the Anglican Communion? How did The Episcopal Church come to be, and how are decisions made within it?
Whether used for personal reading or group discussion, this book offers a thoughtful, open-handed guide to the Episcopal tradition―one that encourages questions, respects doubt, and invites readers into a richer understanding of faith.
