Synopsis
William Murchison examines the cultural corruption of the Episcopal Church and contextualizes his observations within the larger framework of the fate of mainline Protestantism in contemporary American society. The Church of England, which is heavily covered in The Times and The Daily Telegraph, is the mother church of the Episcopal Church -- which latter body is mainly responsible for the crisis at hand.

July 16, 2009: A book highlighting the degradation of the Episcopal church as it becomes increasingly secular and mushy. Murchison shows the time-line of this fall, with the arrival point of the mainline churches being little more than societal organizations. He does a great expose that will hopefully instigate a return to the traditional, core values.
