THE BOOK CORNER FOR JUNE 2009Welcome to the Episcopal Church by Christopher L. Webber
Every Episcopalian or friend of an Episcopalian will find this a lively and informative read, and any seeker after a contemporary Christianity with ancient roots will discover new insights into this religion of two millennia. The chapter on the Bible is worth the price of the book and could benefit anyone who has grappled with the puzzle of biblical interpretation.
The comparisons of the beliefs and rituals of Episcopalians with those of members of other religions is particularly useful. The author never denigrates others' beliefs, but offers an interesting history of how various religions evolved.
