“Hits every nail on the head.” – The Rev. Deacon Robert T. Coolidge

“It’s delightful – and sound and so crisply economical of words as to allow what Church is really all about to shine through. And the apologia pro vita sua sandwiched between the terse decalogues shows that it all came about because the writer let what it’s all about shine through his life.” – The Very Rev. Dr. Harvey H. Guthrie
Harvey is the Dean Emeritus, Episcopal Divinity School, Cambridge, Massachusetts.
“I’ve read your very sturdy and feisty and beautifully designed manifesto and I think it’s great. Sounds and looks just like you!!” – The Rev. Dr. Deborah Little Wyman
