La obra de Robert Prichard nos ofrece un autentico desarrollo del anglicanismo desde sus raices en la Inglaterra del siglo XVI durante la reforma inglesa, hasta su expresion norteamericana en los Estados Unidos de America. Para mi, como alguien procedente de otra tradicion, este libro es esencial para quienes desean conocer con profundidad el origen y la historia de nuestra Iglesia Episcopal. -The Reverend Albert Cutie, Rector, Saint Benedict's Episcopal Church Con esta nueva edicion Robert Prichard le da a la comunidad de habla hispana un gran recurso. La historia de la Iglesia Episcopal es compleja y frecuentemente se ignora la historia de la iglesia episcopal en el Caribe y Latino America. Esta edicion no solamente refleja los cambios hechos en la iglesia desde la primera edicion de este libro, sino que tambien incluye la historia de las primeras congregaciones y lideres anglicanos y episcopales de America Latina. Dandole voz a comunidades etnicas, Prichard nos da una historia mas completa de la Iglesia Episcopal. Les animo a que lean este libro a todo aficionado de la historia y aquellos que desean aprender mas sobre la Iglesia Episcopal. -Rvda. Nancy Aide Frausto, Directora de Estudios Latines del Seminario del Suroeste La edicion actualizada de Una Historia de la Iglesia Episcopal en espanol del Dr. Prichard es una adicion muy bien recibida para los recursos necesarios en el contexto formativo del ministerio latino. En la version en ingles, el Dr. Prichard se distingue por ofrecer un exhaustivo panorama historico de la Iglesia Episcopal, y su atencion al detalle se transmite de igual manera en su version al espanol. Su incorporacion de informacion mas actualizada y la explicacion de asuntos mas recientes de la Iglesia Episcopal, como la monumental tarea de elaborar un Libro de Oracion en espanol universalmente aceptable, es realmente loable. Es todo un deleite poder seguir el perspicaz recorrido del Dr. Prichard por los intrincados recovecos de la trayectoria historica episcopal. -Rev. Albert R. Rodriguez, Exdirector de Estudios Latinos/Hispanos, Seminario del Suroeste

Praise for the English Edition: Prichard tells a lively story of the Episcopal tradition in America. He brings historical perspective to current debates, underlines the salutary force of creative leadership, and illumines the interplay between theological reflection, liturgical practice, and social change. This is a lucid and brisk account that brings the reader into the inner life of a denomination that has proven to be remarkably resilient. Prichard is both realistic about the challenges and hopeful about the possibilities. I found it engaging and instructive. --E.
