The Developing Schism Within The Episcopal Church
Copyright (c) 2010
This work is an examination of the historical, cultural and theological factors that have shaped this debate within the Episcopal Church. The book includes several personal interviews, showcasing the diversity of views held on these issues.
"Dr. Nancy Carol James...the holder of a Ph. D. from the University of Virginia, has performed an excellent service to the church by documenting the developing schism over the past 50 years. She has written with a scholarly objectivity that eschews polemic. She sought the views of many of the major figures of the church ranging from Gene Robinson, Louie Crew and Washington Bishop John Chane on the one side and Uganda Archbishop Henry Luke Orombi, CANA Bishop Martyn Minns and ACNA Archbishop Robert Duncan on the other. It has been no small task. She writes with clarity and winsomeness." (Dr. David Virtue)
"...[James]...documents a schism -- which must always wound and grieve the legacy Christ left us. Indeed, the book strives for an objectively neutral, bird's-eye view of the dispute, which allows the partisans on each side of the current divide to speak in their own voices..." (A. S. Haley)
"As a philosopher, Dr. James captures the spirit of postmodernism and its impact on the church. Reminding the church of its existence as a counter-cultural witness, she raises profound questions about the church and its future." (The Rev. Elly Sparks Brown All Saints Episcopal Church Princeton, New Jersey)
"[The author's] narrative style and her attention to the theological debate breathe life into the history of this Anglican schism." (Prof. Sharon Dahlgren Voros United States Naval Academy)
