Sorry re the late reply - I don't get on here that much - there is a book called "What is Anglicanism" by Urban T. Holmes that might be a fair primer (albeit written in the 80's) I also recommend a copy of the Book of Common Prayer and "Dictionary for Episcopalians."

No nation can call itself great when it reneges on international treaties, abandons allies, and allows big-money interests to buy policies, a la carte, that trash environmental laws to protect our water, protect our skies, and protect the future of our planet.
