Episcopal identity tends to focus on history and worship, and sometimes on ethics--but cradle" and new Episcopalians--plus seekers--will benefit from having a brief, accessible summary of the Christian faith as seen through an Episcopal lens. There are two underlying convictions behind the book: first, that ecumenism is at the heart of the Episcopal faith. Episcopalians are well placed to offer themselves as a place of convergence between Roman Catholics and Protestants, and even between Roman Catholics and the Orthodox.

The book is an attempt to portray what all parties have in common.
