Quotes from Readers
Yearbook of American & Canadian Churches
“We purchase the
Yearbook every year precisely to get the most comprehensive and up-to-date
organizational information on our church partners and the broader institutional
landscape of religion in America. We appreciate the historian, sociologist and
theologian eyes that select supplementary data on trends of note. Tracking the
seminary data alone would be a big job, but this and the social
program/charitable ministries data is key to the full picture of the embodied
faith of our religious communities. Above all, the Yearbook is a resource for
thoughtful, cooperative ecumenism, with the Canadian dimension a constructive
affirmation of the transnational reality of the church.”
Rev. Christian Iosso, Ph.D. Coordinator, Advisory Committee on Social Witness
Policy,
Presbyterian Church (USA).
