Living With History (New Church's Teaching Series)

Following in the footsteps of the two earlier teaching series of the 1950s and 1970s, these volumes seek to reveal the distinctive vision Anglicanism offers for the people of God today. Each book includes a study guide and a list of additional resources. The series is designed for wide parish use, including adult education, classes for inquirers and newcomers, the adult catechumenate, parish libraries, and study groups throughout the church year.Thompsett helps us understand how our knowledge of the past shapes the Episcopal Church as we know it today. Rather than offering a chronological account of Anglican history, Thompsett focuses on the historical task itself. She uses events like the Elizabethan Settlement and the American Civil War to show how we as a church uncover and interpret the memories and events of the past in ways that inform our identity and mission today.
