“brilliant... loving detail... erudite and accessible... wide-ranging and beautiful and will serve those who want to go more deeply into the culture, history, and practice of the Episcopal Church....a humane text for gaining cultural literacy in all things Church.” — Paul Fromberg, St. Gregory of Nyssa, San Francisco, and author of The Art of Transformation
Offers insights from science and faith, a moral compass based on the Gospel Altruism of Jesus Christ
Think about this or the print edition as a Confirmation gift or for a newcomers' class
The serious and sometimes satirical reflections of a priest, poet, and pilgrim —
who knowing he has not obtained the goal, presses on in a Godward direction.

Recovering Lost Tradition
“brilliant... loving detail... erudite and accessible... wide-ranging and beautiful and will serve those who want to go more deeply into the culture, history, and practice of the Episcopal Church....a humane text for gaining cultural literacy in all things Church.” — Paul Fromberg, St. Gregory of Nyssa, San Francisco, and author of The Art of Transformation
“a clear-sighted companion.... If you are passionate about the vitality of today’s church, I encourage you to accompany him on his mystagogical excursion into the liturgical landscape. You will rediscover a familiar place rife with fresh provisions planted by the God who longs to feed our deepest hungers and hopes.” —Jay Koyle, chair, Faith, Worship and Ministry of The Anglican Church of Canada

My Contribution to the Listening Process
"a book that honors the Word of God, the faith once delivered, and moves it into our cultural context."—The Episcopal New Yorker
"seeks to meet opponents on their own ground, assessing their arguments carefully and refuting them courteously.... The value ... lies not in its conclusions alone but chiefly in the way Haller reaches them. Whoever is charged with compiling ... resources [on same-sex relationships] will want to add this book to the list."— The Anglican Theological Review
