We continue our series on The Gifts of Anglicanism for the Body of Christ, focusing on bishops, their role and function in the church, and some of the pitfalls of having bishops, and how to avoid them so we can receive the blessing and benefit of the episcopacy. Our guest is the Rt. Rev. Steve Wood, the Bishop of the Diocese of the Carolinas.

Over the past few decades, many of us have found ourselves “on the Canterbury trail,” drawn by the Spirit to the treasures of the Great Tradition of the Church. At the same time, we want to steward these riches within a contextual, kingdom-centric mission without getting mired in a stiff “traditionalism” that would hamper Spirit-empowered mission. This podcast series will feature 8 treasures we’ve received in the Anglican tradition and how they can effectively engage the world around us.
