NEW YORK, N. Y. - Why
would a man with 30 years of
experience in the Episcopal
Church, including 11 years as
the Sixth Bishop of Montana,
call himself as ‘‘ecclesiastical
accident”? Why would he write
a novel laying -bare the philo
sophical earthquakes that are
creating deep chasms within
the Church’s hierarchy? Why
would he admit the great per
sona! turmoil faced by many
church members is even more
anguishing than commonly
thought?
