The Anglican Way: A Guidebook von Thomas McKenzie
This book has a wealth of resourceful information worth returning to again and again. It is a very helpful though simplistic book best suited to those who are new to the Anglican church (though if you were raised Catholic like myself, a good bit will be familiar—though different somewhat of course). I especially enjoyed how the author touched on different aspects of the Anglican community using the Compass Rose.
I appreciated the reminder each day to begin with a moment of silence. Often the monk's writing reminded me of koans. I liked Thomas McKenzie's down to earth story telling that shed more light on the reading of the day. I often found things I wanted to learn more about or follow up on. These are always a plus in a devotional. I used this as a nighttime meditation. It would work just as well if not better in the mornings. Over all a wonderful Lenten practice.
The Anglican Way: A Guidebook is one of those books that has been needed for sometime. I should know, I've looked for something like this. I'm someone who is not only deeply interested in Anglicanism but I also feel drawn to it and this book further confirms it in my heart. In full disclosure I participated in the IndieGoGo campaign to get this book published.
Fr. Thomas McKenzie has written a fantastic guidebook to the Anglican movement, for those both on the inside and those on the outside. It's not only very informative, it is also easy to read. I appreciate the author's approach to the various Anglican bodies in the States and some of the issues that divide them in the section titled Anglican Help Desk (Part IV). Furthermore, utilizing the Compass Rose (Part I) as a way to break Anglicanism down is both palatable and well thought out.
Weighing in at 284 pages this quick, informative read will help develop a greater appreciation for the Anglican way to those outside of it. If you're from another Christian stream like me but drawn to Anglicanism this book will go hand in hand with Robert Webber's Evangelicals on the Canterbury Trail: Why Evangelicals Are Attracted to the Liturgical Church - Revised Edition in helping you navigate the trail.
In conclusion, if you're an Anglican and wanting a refresher this is an excellent pick. Do you happen to be from one of the other liturgical churches and you're curious about the Anglican way? Well, this book is a great crash course. For those of us from a non-liturgical background but drawn to know more you can't go wrong with The Anglican Way: A Guidebook. Last but not least if you don't have a Christian background but you are interested in knowing about the third largest branch of this great faith, this guidebook is for you.… (mehr)
