Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Episcopalians are notoriously timid about evangelism, but author David Gortner helps us transform our hands-off attitudes and practices with a style of evangelical calling we can live with. It is spiritually enriching, approaches others not as proselytizer but as inquirer and pilgrim, and thus much more in keeping with the "seeker" mode of 21st century faith practice. Gortner explains the biblical and theological support for evangelism and uses anecdote and personal story. His approach will help all Episcopalians, ordained and lay, to reclaim this birthright and develop styles and practices of spirituality that will deepen our sense of evangelical calling in a multicultural and multifaith society. A conversational style and real life examples provide a lively and easy study tool for leadership.
