To use the authors' own description, this book is "about beginning the transition away from merely making Anglicans toward the breathtaking business of making Christians and taking the message of salvation into all the world."

Those who recall Kew and White's series of articles in this magazine in 1995 may find much of this book is familiar. The English-born authors sound a warning that business as usual in the Episcopal Church will not do during the next century, that the survival mentality in effect in many churches must be overcome, and that evangelism is "the primary passport to a healthy future."

Restructure is addressed, with three possible scenarios presented. One would turn the Episcopal Church into a mixture of geographical and non-geographic dioceses, a surprising conclusion from two persons not affiliated with the Episcopal Synod of America. A second scenario would turn the church into a network of autonomous provinces of the Anglican Communion. Kew and White title the third possible scenario "Fragmentation, Schism, Recoalescing," and suggest that in this process "a new kind of Anglicanism would be born, out of which different kinds of ecclesiastical structures would evolve."

In writing this book, the authors used feedback from readers who followed their series in TLC.

Toward 2015 could be the topic for a discussion group at the parish level. The authors have provided pertinent questions at the end of each chapter which would seem appropriate for initiating dialogue on the future of the church.

If you're concerned about what your congregation might look like in 20 years, this book is for you.
