Negative Positive
Title: Altogether, rather discouraging
Review: It indeed is interesting that Roman Catholics, taught grave misconceptions about the Anglican Communion, found a "home" in the latter in adulthood, and certainly any growth in the spiritual life and church involvement is a happy development to see. Unfortunately, there are several misconceptions about Anglicans which this book seems to underscore!In several cases, the attitudes of those mentioned seemed to be "I love the liturgy - but don't want the morality or faith of Rome." Granted - the approach within the Anglican Communion is not based on "fidelity to a magisterium," but this hardly means that the commitment is less. Many of us Anglicans hold moral viewpoints (yes, even on abortion, fornication, and concubinage) which would match those of the most devout Roman, and our attitude towards divorce would be no more carefree than the RC annulment mentality.The book is not dishonest, but certainly is very incomplete.
Is the review positive or negative?
