- Notes
- "[W]ith a foreword by Carolyn Purden".
- A selection of 254 letters to the "Anglican Journal" and its predecessor "The Canadian Churchman" arranged chronologically from April 1955 to December 2005.
- Letters compiled and annotated with "Notes on Context" by Colin Proudman. -- Foreword, p. 7.
- "The issues that engaged our readers during the 50 years covered by this collection were myriad: modernizing the liturgy; supporting anti-apartheid protests; defining the place of gays and lesbians in the church; changing the words of old hymns; accepting draft dodgers; questioning the value of residential schools; legalizing abortion; promoting shareholder action against corporations; uniting with other churches; opening the priesthood and episcopacy to women; abolishing capital punishment. Often these milestones in church and society provoked a visceral response .... More poignant are the letters from those who write from their own experience." -- Foreword, p. 7.
- Index subjects include: boycotts, church union, homosexuality, Israel/Palestine, Native peoples, Primate's World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF), residential schools, South Africa and Worship.
