Newly Released Essay Collection Explores Future of the Episcopal Church

This book, “What We Shall Become: The Future and Structure of the Episcopal Church,” is published as the governing bodies of the Episcopal Church USA are anticipating formal recommendations that will outline the future character and structure of the Church.

Edited by The Reverend Winnie Varghese, rector of the historic St. Mark’s Church in-the-Bowery, the collection of essays examines the issues that restructuring raises for the church, including:

the historical, sociological and ecclesiological forces that have shaped the Church, how seminaries are reimagining their work for the 21st century;
how the changing landscape of communications and interconnectedness is challenging dioceses to support mission work differently;
and what it means to truly empower laity in our ever-evolving world.

Read it all.
