- "At the outset I indicated where I thought this book would take us: I suggested that the Anglican Communion should be supported and encouraged as a fellowship, a koinonia, rather than as an organization per se. To be effective, support and encouragement for this fellowship requires familiarity. That is what I have tried to do: to provide enough familiarity with some of the characteristics of this fellowship. I have argued that this fellowship is not easily described in organizational terms. There are no easily defined beliefs peculiar to Anglican churches, distinguishing them from all other Christian churches. The Anglican Communion's organizational assumptions are mostly at the episcopal level. Provincial organization and power varies throughout the communion. Communion-wide authority, power, and organization is real, but in actuality quite limited" -- p. 179.
