Drawing on more than 2,500
discussions with Episcopalians in focus groups and personal interviews as part of the Episcopal Church Foundation's Zacchaeus project, William Sachs and Thomas Holland conclude that there is a paradox in the Episcopal Church. At the local congregational level there is considerable vitality; this vitality, however, is in marked contrast to the sense of crisis that exists within the hierarchy of the church.
While the media reports an Episcopal Church ripped apart by debates and rancorous disagreements, a quite different picture emerged over 200
visits to local parishes. Researchers discovered that church members were animated by discoveries being made in their personal journeys of faith, they were concerned about ways in which they could more effectively pursue ministry, and they were worrying about nurturing their children as the future leaders of the church.
Restoring the Ties That Bind is an important book for clergy and lay members who are concerned with mapping the future of the Episcopal Church.

Restoring the Ties That Bind
Figuring that a little brush-up on matters liturgical can't be all bad, even for retired clergy, I took our rector's recommendation on this one. It didn't take long to suspect that Patrick Malloy (aside from the Irish name) was a "Roman retread" like me! One obvious tip-off was his reference on p. 36 to the late Presiding Bishop Browning...whose first name was Edmund, not "Edward".
Nevertheless, I found this to be a very solid, fair, and rather complete appraisal of what the Book of Common Prayer sees as a Eucharist service which is "decent & in order". He really gets to the heart of the theology behind Eucharistic liturgy...not, as he says, just "expressing", but also "impressing" the meaning. This will be a very useful vademecum for seminarians preparing for ordination either as deacons or priests. It wouldn't even be a bad idea to have a copy of Malloy's book in the sacristy for members of the Altar Guild.
