Description

This is a reasoned book from the Dean of Grace Cathedral, San Francisco on how to find a middle way within Anglican orthodoxy.Alan Jones is Dean of Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. Without wishing to stereotype the good people of San Fran, it is a liberal town in a liberal state, so you might expect Jones be pushing a liberal agenda...and he is, but from a reasoned perspective somewhere in the middle.Given the current schisms within the Anglican Communion, this book is to be welcomed as a reasoned argument in an increasingly heated debate.In this thoughtful volume, Jones takes a look at Anglicanism from four different perspectives - fundamentalism versus modernism, the tired caricature of Anglicanism as "muddled thinking", as an orientation toward transcendent mystery, and through the eyes of some of Anglicanism's greatest exemplars.With its focus on careful listening and prayerful deliberation, Jones' vision of orthodoxy is the ideal antidote to the anger and bitterness that threatens the Body of Christ today.
