Representing the Anglican Church in North America, The Episcopal Church, and the Anglican Continuum, these seminarians desired to humanize the conflict by pursuing embodied experiences of disagreement and reconciliation, even while recognizing that resolution in the form of agreement would be virtually impossible. \u003ci\u003eReconciling Practices \u003c\/i\u003erecounts their journey in the hope that the experiences of these seminarians might serve as a model for the Anglican Communion. In the words of the Most Rev. Michael Curry, the Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church, this book shows us \"how it is indeed possible to encounter one another not as opposition or other, but as beloved children of God.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eReconciling Practices\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Intentional reconciliation amidst deep disagreement is hard work.

As both the church and the world face increasing and polarizing divisions, formation in these practices of reconciliation will be essential. This book offers us a way into that work with honesty and with the hope that remains rooted in the reconciling love of God.\" \u003cb\u003e-The Most Rev.

Kudos to Robert Heaney and his team for having the courage to invite strangers to the same table and, perhaps even more to the seminarians for being willing to stay there when any other choice would have been easier-a parable and a path for a broken church.\" \u003cb\u003e-Garwood P.
