Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review“A book that points the way to new hope for the church, rooted not in innovation, but in the recovery of the most ancient traditions of the church: community, beauty, liturgy, service, prayer. Young adults are hungry for these ancient, transcendent experiences, and want to serve a God who calls them to give their best.”
—The Reverend Susan Brown Snook, Vicar and church planter of The Episcopal Church of the Nativity, Phoenix, Arizona
“Hendrickson is changing the conversation from being about young adults to being with young adults. The thoughts and reflections presented in this book speak to the very heart of what is it we should be doing and why we do it.”
—Dante A. Tavolaro, Director of Ministry at St. Peter’s by-the-Sea, Narragansett, Rhode Island
“This collection provides striking testimony to the faith of a group of young adults involved in an intentional Christian community in the city of New Haven. Their thoughtful engagement with the Anglican tradition, their commitment to an authentic contemporary witness to the truth of the Gospel, their life of prayer and mutual support all inspire hope for the future of the Church.”
—Dr. Harold W. Attridge, Sterling Professor of Divinity and dean of Yale Divinity School (2002-2012)
“In this wonderfully accessible book, Robert Hendrickson brings together the deep tradition and commitment to God’s mission at the heart of the Anglo-Catholic movement with the passion and spirituality of young adults today. The lessons it offers are far reaching for any church that seeks to be faithful to God’s mission in the twenty-first century. Read this book and be inspired.”
—The Rt. Rev. Ian T. Douglas, Ph.D., Episcopal Bishop of Connecticut
