This illustrated dictionary for the Episcopal Church is an essential reference to its terminology, worship, structure, and polity. Originally intended as a resource for new members and confirmands in the Episcopal Church, since it was first published in 1985 the dictionary has become increasingly popular with clergy, vestries, and other lay ministers and leaders. This entirely new edition has been expanded, revised, and updated to include new terms that have come into use since it was first published, as the language Episcopalians use to describe their faith, worship, and common life continues to evolve. A Dictionary for Episcopalians is an ideal reference book for new members, seminarians, clergy, confirmation and inquirers' classes, altar guilds, church school teachers, and anyone who wants to learn more about the Episcopal Church. With illustrations and a pronunciation guide, it is a useful addition to every parish library and sacristy.

Industry Reviews

An easy-to-read beginner's descriptive guide to the sometimes strange world of ecclesial language ... should be helpful to both new and lifelong Episcopalians. -- John H. Westerhoff III I heartily recommend John Wall's Dictionary... It is well-written, and considerate of differing positions and points of view ... should be in use in every parish. -- John E. Booty A 'revised, expanded, updated' edition of the handy, illustrated reference for Episcopalians or those interested in things Episcopal... One of those 'should be in every library' books. The Living Church A Dictionary for Episcopalians is the ideal (yes, ideal) reference book for new members, confirmation and inquirers' classes, altar guilds, and church school teachers. It is well-written... A staff pick. Resource Center In New York This dictionary makes an excellent confirmation present and every church office should have a copy. One can browse in this book, picking it up from time to time, expecting to learn something new each time. Enjoy the clean layout which matches the cleanly written sentences. The Southwestern Episcopalian This helpful guide offers definitions and instruction around common liturgical, biblical and instructional terms, and also guides the reader through the maze we call the church.
