Description:

"Divided We Stand" is the first comprehensive history of the Continuing Anglican Movement. The book examines the histoy of a relatively small movement of Episcopalian dissidents who, during the last decades of the 20th century, withdrew from the institutional church in order to form independent ecclesiastical bodies. These Episcopalian sects were developed during various waves of traditionalist discontent, which began in the 1950s, increased during the 1960s, and reached their peak in the 1970s.

The book also chronicles the controversies within the Episcopal Church that led to the formation of traditionalist dissent, and eventually to schism, but focuses most of its attention on the internal history of the ecclesiastical bodies formed by those who broke away from the Episcopal Church.
