Webber, Christopher.: Finding home (1997, Cowley Publications) No rating

As a de jure Roman Catholic but de facto Episcopalian I had thought this book might succeed in extricating me from the claws of Rome but alas, it didn't. The majority of the conversion stories I found strangely unappealing, concentrating on why the converts found the RCC uncongenial rather than what made the Episcopal Church positively attractive. They're two sides of the same coin and can't be separated, with unacceptable aspects of the RCC being contrasted with the opposite in TEC, but only the last couple of chapters leaned toward a positive approach, in my opinion. I found it interesting that Matthew Fox's story (the last section before an afterward) devoted attention to how the Episcopal Church was a broad enough tent to include him despite incautious theological formulations.
