- "This volume does not presume to offer a comprehensive history of the English and American churches' Native American work; it offers, instead, sketches of how the work came about and where the work was at the end of the summer of 1987". "The purpose of this volume is two-fold: to call the Episcopal Church to its commitment, assumed indirectly four hundred years ago, to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to peoples indigenous to the United States of America, and to tell of our own role as Indian people in response to the Great Commission". -- Preface, p. 5.
