Get to know the first five Black women to be elected diocesan bishops within the Episcopal Church. During this moment, with the #metoo movement, Black Lives Matter, and the increased feelings of division in our country, Black women clergy in the Episcopal Church have voiced a need to come together, believing that their experiences and concerns may be very different than those of other clergy. That need is answered here in This Band of Sisterhood. The five Black women bishops featured in this book can provide a compass for how to journey along these new paths. Jennifer Baskerville-Burrows, Carlye J. Hughes, Kimberly Lucas, Shannon MacVean-Brown, and Phoebe A. Roaf offer honest, vulnerable wisdom from their own lives that speaks to this time in American life. Both women and men will find this book invaluable in discerning how God might be calling them to use their own leadership skills.

The newly updated and revised edition of the indispensable resource for Episcopal priests simplifies liturgical officiating and celebration of the rites of the Episcopal Church.
Illuminates the spiritual journey we all take and the choices we all take and the choices we make by focusing on five of the monastic hours, from Vigils which reflect on the edges of the day and our own difficulty in choosing to begin the journey, through Compline or night prayer, the time for letting go and remembering the reality of death. Full of humor and eloquently written, Crossing shows Christians how to bring faith and human experience together.
A plain language exploration of the theology of worship. Professional theological terminology is often inaccessible to the average Christian. A House of Meanings presents liturgical theology in accessible ways, free of technical language. The book is designed for individual reading and structured to be a resource for a series of parish workshops, especially during the Easter season. Chapters conclude with a discussion guide intended to assist parishioners in developing their own sense of the value of worship and its relationship to our daily lives. Dedicated to deepening parishioners’ understandings of the Church and how it has both gathered and sent into service to the world, A House of Meanings will be useful not only to congregations, but to seminarians and anyone planning or evaluating worship.
Margrit Lohrer and Albrecht Pichler bought a farm in 1977 for three reasons: they needed a home for a rescued chicken found wandering in Riverside Park, they wanted a weekend getaway from Manhattan and they thought clean country air would be a good motivation to help them stop smoking. In 1983 the couple bought their first flock of champion merino sheep and have since reached their goals to reintroduce merino sheep to New England and produce the finest wool in the country. MOREHOUSE FARM MERINO KNITS is much more than a collection of 45 plus all-original patterns ranging from shawls and sweaters to baby garments and mittens, just as Margrit and Albrecht are much more than sheep breeders. Accompanying the inventive patterns, which include something special for each member of the family - including the cat - will be schematics and illustrations to help guide knitters. Lively siderbars describing sheep farming, merino wool history as it travels from sheep to shawl, and numerous other tidbits detailing the proper care and feeding of the world's most sought-after fibre and it's source pepper the book.
