“Phyllis has given us a unique insight into a unique congregation which still plays an important role in Denver today. The book is full of the wonderful characters who have played such important roles in its history, especially The Order of the Holy Family.”
“Phyllis Kester’s book comes out of years of dedicated research and a love for St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church and its compassionate response to God’s call to service in Denver. It is a testimony to the gospel imperative to serve the poor by a congregation steeped in the values and practices of the nineteenth-century Anglo-Catholic movement in England.”
“To know St. Andrew’s is to understand the heart and soul of the ideal Episcopal Church. The people of St. Andrew’s not only pray together but live out their faith as evidenced through their actions over the course of their history.”
“St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church is a small church with a huge history. It is a treasure that has evolved into a core city sanctuary. This is a church that practices what it teaches!”
