The Anglican Way: A Guidebook

Short Review: This is intended to be an introduction to Anglicanism for new converts, but also would make a good discussion book for an adult eduction class. Because it is newly written, it feels fresh and recent, while communicating the weight of the tradition and the importance of Anglican distinctives. I have read other similar books for other Christian traditions and few of them are able to communicate their own tradition without condemning other traditions, but this one is gracious, pointing out differences without condemnation or triumphalism.

McKenzie is writing as a conservative Anglican in the US that has left the United States Episcopal Church, although he clearly states that many Episcopals are orthodox Anglicans. There is a short section on the history of that divide that I thought was helpful.
