Jesus Was An Episcopalian (And You Can Be One Too!): A Newcomer's Guide to the Episcopal Church

This introduction to the Episcopal Church is aimed at people who are new to it, as well as those who want a fresh look at what it stands for. Chris Yaw describes a church with renewed energy and leadership, one that works to feed the hungry, defends equal rights and cares for the environment. He writes about its open invitation to everyone at the table, its emphasis on repentance and forgiveness, and its blend of modern thought with a faith rooted in Jesus Christ. The book is meant as a way for Episcopalians to tell others who they are and to share what they have found in the tradition.
