Description
Thad Barnum found himself a firsthand witness to efforts responding to the Episcopal-Anglican crisis in North America. As bishops in the United States and Canada embraced a false gospel, orthodox clergy and church leaders sought spiritual refuge with archbishops in the Global South. The first responders came from Rwanda, a country reeling from the shock of genocide just four years earlier. Their own country’s darkness had taught them: In the face of injustice, we must never be silent.
Barnum’s vivid prose conveys the drama of the early years that would reshape the Anglican Communion and lead to the founding of the Anglican Church in North America. Never Silent recounts how leaders from the Global South answered God’s call to defend and support their brothers and sisters in North America as they stepped out in courage and mission. It is a compelling story of friendship, sacrifice, and vision, and a testimony of God’s faithfulness to his people.
