This book presents not only a brief history of the Christian Church & the Anglican Communion & the latter's key position among other denominations, it also treats the rebellious & destructive vanguard action of the Episcopal Church in the United States in its curious, continuing membership in COCU, its ordination of women, its intolerance of the 1928 Book of Common Prayer, & its headlong insistence on professionally uniformed inclusive language - all calculated to reduce the church to just another Protestant sect whose concerns are not the shepherding of souls & the preservation of established doctrine, but the furtherance of a myriad of social issues. The author contends that, in the face of continuing schisms, the Episcopal Church is about to undergo dissolution of its essential character & authority because of its overriding secular agenda & its stubborn unwillingness to grant its large traditional membership that voice certified by the 2000-year tenets of the Catholic faith. Gravely threatened today are biblical truths, the nature of the sacraments & the priesthood, & the church's place & effectiveness in the ecumenical movement. Solutions to the impending demise of the Episcopal Church are suggested in the Epilogue.
