Now available in a new and expanded volume replacing the popular Holy Women, Holy Men, A Great Cloud of Witnesses is a further step in the development of liturgical commemorations within the life of the Episcopal Church. This volume reflects the lively experience of holiness, especially on the level of the local community, and is thus a useful tool for learning about the history of the church and identifying those who have inspired and challenged us from the time of the New Testament to present.
Each entry includes a biographical narrative of the person or people, highlighting the significance of their life and witness. A devotional collect is provided in both Rite I and Rite II language and a set of indexing "tags" suggests how the entry fits into the broader scope of Christian history and delineates the Christian gifts and virtues that may have inspired the person's ministries.
By action of the 2015 General Convention, A Great Cloud of Witnesses is being made available for devotional or catechetical use and for use in public worship throughout the Church.
