Review Quotes:

"This is a welcome and important statement by the House of Bishops Theology Committee that will strengthen and continue the church's important conversations about beloved community. It challenges us not to stop with conversation but to move on to action -- repairing and transforming relationships through acts of material repentance."
--The Living Church

"I am so grateful for the... work of the theologians and bishops who have spent the last five years working on [this study] . . . This is hard and holy work, not to hurt or harm, but to help and heal."
--Michael B. Curry, the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church
