The Accidental Anglican: The Surprising Appeal of the Liturgical Church by Todd D. Hunter
2.0
This year I became an "accidental Anglican," moving to a city where the local community was the closest group of Christians I could find to my beliefs and my language. Wanting to learn more, I picked up Hunter's book.
My biggest complaint is that the book is self-referential. I had never heard of Hunter before, and 3/4ths of the book is about his journey into Anglicanism and the influences who brought him there. The book works best when it is pointing to well-known and well-read Anglicans like NT Wright and John Stott.
I came to Anglicanism from Methodism. I didn't recognize the denominations in which Hunter has served. No doubt he is an effective leader for the churches he planted. The book, however, left me disappointed, looking for a better resource on the strengths of the demonimation.
