Episcopal Church & Faith
Welcome to the Episcopal Church : An Introduction to Its History,
Faith, and Worship
This brand new introduction to the history, polity, spirituality, worship, and outreach of
the Episcopal Church is written in an easy-to-read conversational tone, and includes study
questions at the end of each chapter, making it an excellent resource for adult parish

A Dictionary for Episcopalians This illustrated dictionary is an
essential reference to the Episcopal church's terminology, worship, structure, and polity.
Originally intended as a resource for new members, since it was first published in 1985
the dictionary has become popular with clergy, vestries, and other lay ministers and
leaders. This entirely new edition has been expanded, revised, and updated to include new
terms that have come into use since it was first published, as the language Episcopalians
use to describe their faith, worship, and common life continues to evolve.
