If you are exploring the intersection of liturgy, sacrament and mission, I highly recommend Simply Anglican.”Todd Hunter, Bishop of The Diocese of Churches for the Sake of Others, Author of The Accidental Anglican"Dr. Winfield Bevins writes Simply Anglican as an outsider and an insider. That duo perspective gives him a vantage and an independent position to evaluate the unique Anglican identity. His journey into Anglicanism is captivating and invites the reader to get deeper into the book to appreciate the richness of Anglicanism. Though simple, it is thoughtful and graciously orthodox. I would recommend this book to both those who are exploring Anglicanism and those Anglicans who need to refresh themselves with the Anglican tradition as told from a fresh perspective.”Sammy Wainaina, Provost of All Saints’ Cathedral, Nairobi, Kenya"Simply Anglican is a guide to the Anglican way of being Christian that is both reliable and refreshing. It provides an overview of the history, theology, liturgy and mission of this major worldwide expression of the Church that is highly informative and at the same time delightfully motivating. For anyone wanting to understand Anglicanism, this is a great place to start, but it is unlikely to be the end. The reader will want to know more and, I hope, enter more fully into the Anglican way of following Jesus."Justyn Terry, Vice Principal and Academic Dean, Wycliffe Hall, Oxford
