* A fresh first-hand take on the Anglican Communion Of special interest to younger Episcopalians/AnglicansTravel with Jesse Zink as he literally walks us through many of church's most representative provinces-Nigeria, front line of opposition to the American church, South Sudan, leading the way to a peaceful future, England, the mother church, facing an uncertain future, South Africa, once led by an iconic archbishop and now fightinga devastating AIDS epidemic, and the United States, divided and dwindling, but with hopeful signs of new growth. The backpacking author has a story to tell that is far different from the one that dominates the headlines. He reveals that when debates about power, history, and sexuality are undertaken in a spirit of mutuality and trust, they can serve to strengthen, not weaken, the Communion. The result is a book that vividly presents slices of local Anglican life around the world, argues convincingly that unity is central to the Communion's mission, andpresents a credible path to achieving global unity.
