Index

“It is a pleasure . . . to read this impressive and accessible diocesan history. . . .

“. . . This is an excellent history. It is critical to our understanding of the Episcopal Church nationally, and in many ways, constitutes a microcosm of American mainline religion.”

—Philip Jenkins, Pennsylvania History
