The Recent Unpleasantness

History & Biography

“Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke of a 'world house' wherein people live together in mutual respect as siblings or perish together in mutual disrespect as fools. South Africa's Archbishop Desmond Tutu spoke of 'Ubuntu,' a perspective affirming the inter-connectedness of humanity. In The Recent Unpleasantness, Harold Lewis provides a brilliantly written case study of how these values in ministry helped salvage the integrity of the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Pittsburgh during major crisis.”
