An Anglo-Catholic Visionary for Modern America

History & Biography

“Joseph Byrne’s splendid book, An Anglo-Catholic Visionary for Modern America, is a real contribution to a number of fields: history of the Catholic Movement in the Episcopal Church, the story of converts to the Roman Catholic Church, showing the beginnings of the Liturgical Movement which in many cases led directly to changes at Vatican II, and certainly the story of a unique, inspiring, and spiritually influential priest in both communions. I hope this book finds wide readership.”
