- This book "tells the stories of four Canadian bishops who embraced unpopular causes with their eyes wide open. Over the past 150 years, George Hills, David Somerville, Douglas Hambidge, and Michael Ingham encountered severe opposition as they fought for the rights of blacks, aboriginals, women, and gays and lesbians. One was at the centre of the only Anglican schism in Canadian history; two jeopardized their careers; and one was voted the sixth most important person of the twentieth century whose world view has transformed society". -- inside front cover.
