A History of the Sisterhood of the Holy Nativity

History & Biography

“Sheryl Kujawa-Holbrook firmly locates the Sisterhood of the Holy Nativity’s origins and rapid growth in the context of Anglicanism’s nineteenth-century Catholic revival. She brilliantly describes SHN’s flourishing twentieth-century ministries and relates its subsequent struggles to adapt to sweeping social and cultural upheavals amidst a decline in vocations. This meticulously researched and highly readable book will be an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the Episcopal Church’s Anglo-Catholic movement and religious orders.”
