Description :
From 2017 to 2020, ten seminarians from five different Anglican seminaries
met to discuss the difficult topics that have caused division and conflict in the
worldwide Anglican Communion. Representing the Anglican Church in North
America, The Episcopal Church, and the Anglican Continuum, these
seminarians desired to humanize the conflict by pursuing embodied
experiences of disagreement and reconciliation, even while recognizing that
resolution in the form of agreement would be virtually impossible. Reconciling
Practices recounts their journey in the hope that the experiences of these
seminarians might serve as a model for the Anglican Communion. In the
words of the Most Rev. Michael Curry, the Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal
Church, this book shows us &#8220hoit is indeed possible to encounter one
another not as opposition or other, but as beloved children of
God.&#8221Praise for Reconciling Practices&#8220Inentional reconciliation
amidst deep disagreement is hard work. It is also necessary work for all who
choose to follow Jesus in his Way of Love. But what does this look like?

seminaries, Reconciling Practices shows how it is indeed possible to
