Excerpt from King's Handbook of Notable Episcopal Churches in the United States This Handbook will be useful in various ways. First, to illustrate the progress which has been made by the Episcopal Church in this country during the past century. NO one can look through these pages, and examine these pictures, without seeing that a wonderful advance has been made. It is a history Of the Episcopal Church in a new form. Then too the book may revive pleasant associations for people who have been, or are now, connected with parishes here mentioned. The children baptized in the old parish Church, in one of our Atlantic cities, may to-day be actively connected with some new parish in the West. The young couple married before the altar of a Church in one section, may have found a home in some far-distant city. And so with all of these parishes there are hallowed associations, which may thus be revived and cherished. Another use of the book is for tourists, who, in going from city to city in the United States, wish to see the Church buildings. It will be a convenience to know which possess features of interest, and to have in hand a guide that will set forth such features. And, finally, this Handbook may furnish many a suggestion to the parishes and individuals who contemplate building houses of worship for the glory of God. It is Often a help to those who are about to build a Church or Chapel or Parish House, to know what other people have done. It is no unusual thing for committees to make long journeys to view buildings which they have heard would answer needs similar to their own, or which have features they wish their architects to introduce. It will be very gratifying to all who have had any thing to do with the prepara tion of this book, if, in any or in all of these ways, it shall prove to be useful.

Excerpt from A History of the Protestant Episcopal Church: In the United States of America Ilistory of the American. Episcopal Church, which is as full of wisdom as of wit. The History of the American Church, by Bishop Wilberforce, of Oxford and ter, is valuable in its account of the colonies, and is re markable throughout as the production of one who never visited America. Ilis unfamiliarity with our republican ia stitutions, however, makes his account of the constitutional period of less value. Canon Anderson's History of the Church of England in the Colonies, in three volumes, is more full and instructive than \vilberforce, and the Digest of the Records of the Venerable S. I'. G. Is invaluable as a source of information concerning our colonial eccle siastical history, while The Colonial Era, by Professor G. L'. Fisher, D.D., of Yale University, gives a clear and impartial view of the early political events which so vitally tfl'ected the life of the church.

A classic best-selling manual on Episcopalian faith for lifelong followers, newcomers, and those wishing to sample and explore the beliefs and organization of the denomination. The original Episcopal Handbook, published in 2008, was an instant classic and has been a best-seller ever since. Still providing helpful and insightful information about the Episcopal ethos with a certain amount of whimsy and complete accessibility, this revision maintains the best features of the original work, but adds an update and an expansion on the church today. This revision highlights Episcopal diversity—including more women and people of color in the biographical material—and focuses more on Episcopal, rather than Anglicans. Additions to this edition include updated illustrations, an expanded glossary, and new sections on church governance, the origins of religious belief, and a capsule summary of church history. The Handbook is suitable for use in Sunday school, confirmation classes, inquirer sessions—and for everyone from visitors to vestries.

Excerpt from A History of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, Vol. 7 So the Episcopal Church did not create episcopacy, nor extemporize a liturgy, nor invent a creed. To apply to the church what Mr. Curtis again says of the state, the higher spirit of conservatism was its own, and it cherished a reverence for antiquity, a susceptibility to the value of tradition, an instinct for continuity and development, an antipathy to violent rupture - the grace and charm and value of an established order.
