Summary: Hippies and Anglo-Catholics?
Comment: This is clearly an examination done by a sociologist. His previous works demonstrate what the reader ought to anticipate. He has done useful research in bringing PH pamphlets to light, but reinterprets the Ritual movement in terms of something akin to the 1960's protest movement of counter culture. It might provide some soclological insight to 'some' followers of ritualism but it says nothing about the heart, mind, soul, and theology of the leaders. It falls far short of giving an apologetic, history, and theology to ritualism

Summary: Entertaing, informative--altogether marvelous
Comment: High church? Evangelical? Broad church? As a relatively recent (4 years) member of the Reformed Episcopal Church, these terms have been a matter of both great interest and great confusion to me. Reed's book is a terrific history of the Anglo-Catholic movement in England, but touches many other bases along the way. His prose is lucid, his style humerous. This book was difficult to put down except during periods of helpless laughter. It should be of use to any Anglican wishing to become better informed about the history and development of our "via media."
