Una serie de ensayos que invitan a la reflexión y abordan los desafíos teológicos y prácticos que enfrenta la Iglesia Episcopal en la actualidad.
 
“Este libro marcará una diferencia profunda para la iglesia en este momento de la historia.”
-El Reverendísimo Michael B. Curry
 
A veces, se necesitan trastornos y pérdidas para quebrarnos y abrirnos, y así llamarnos de vuelta a Dios. No es sorprendente que una pandemia mundial y un ajuste de cuentas generacional con la supremacía blanca—junto con décadas de decadencia sistémica—hayan impulsado a cristianos de todo el mundo a preguntarse quiénes somos, por qué Dios nos puso aquí y qué impacto tiene eso en el mundo.
En este libro crítico pero pleno de afecto, la autora explora la historia de Estados Unidos y la historia de la Iglesia Episcopal para entender cómo comunidades impregnadas de racismo, poder y privilegio pueden, por fin, enamorarse de Jesús, caminar con humildad junto a los más vulnerables y encarnar la comunidad amada de una manera única, rota pero hermosa.
 
La iglesia abierta en grietas nos invita a renunciar a los privilegios y a redefinir la Iglesia, no solo por el bien de los demás, sino también por nuestra propia salvación y liberación.    A thought-provoking series of essays that address the specific theological and practical challenges of today’s Episcopal Church.
 
"This book will make a profound difference for the church in this moment in history."
The Most Reverend Michael B. Curry
Sometimes it takes disruption and loss to break us open and call us home to God. It’s not surprising that a global pandemic and once-in-a-generation reckoning with white supremacy—on top of decades of systemic decline—have spurred Christians everywhere to ask who we are, why God placed us here and what difference that makes to the world.
In this critical yet loving book, the author explores the American story and the Episcopal story in order to find out how communities steeped in racism, establishment, and privilege can at last fall in love with Jesus, walk humbly with the most vulnerable and embody beloved community in our own broken but beautiful way.
The Church Cracked Open invites us to surrender privilege and redefine church, not just for the sake of others, but for our own salvation and liberation.
