Out of Africa

Out of Africa: The Breakaway Anglican Churches tells the remarkable story of the emergence of a new religious movement within the Anglican Communion. The movement, made up of theologically conservative Anglican churches, began in Pawleys Island, South Carolina in January 2000 and, with assistance from the Anglican Church of Rwanda, Africa, has spread throughout the United States and into Canada.

Every Episcopalian and Anglican should read Out of Africa: The Breakaway Anglican Churches. Ross Lindsay has done the church a huge favor by telling this compelling story that many of us have lived for over a decade.

In Out of Africa: The Breakaway Anglican Churches, Ross Lindsay tells the story as it happened. I witnessed most of the events that he recounts, and he is spot-on in his recall and his analysis.

Ross Lindsay chronicles well the realignment of Anglicanism that was birthed at All Saints Church in Pawleys Island, South Carolina in 2000. By tracing the movement from inception, he reminds us that our call is to both missiology and ecclesiology. Lindsay describes the current developments as a movement with a mission.
