About Things Episcopal.... A, B, Cs and more!

For those of you who would enjoy delving into 'things Episcopal', Geranium Farmer Linda L. Maumus suggested the following boo:

The Episcopal Handbook > ISBN:9780819223296> Morehouse Publishing

Other resources that may be helpful:

A Dictionary for Episcopalians by John N. Wall > ISBN 1-56101-178-9> Cowley Publications;

The Vestry Handbook by Christopher L. Webber >ISBN 0-8192=1453-1

Online resources:

http://www.cyberhymnal.org/ is a great place to browse through thousands of hymns and also learn about their history;
http://www.sumphonia.com/ is a nonprofit foundation whose purpose is to compile and distribute materials for worship, especially those materials related to congregational hymn worship. Sumphonia was founded in the autumn of 2002.

Three short works by Frederick Buechner (in paperback) are a great addition to your library:
Wishful Thinking: A Seeker's ABC, revised 1993;
Peculiar Treasures: A Biblical Who's Who, pub. 1979;
Whistling in the Dark: A Doubter's Dictionary, pub. 1993. All are published by HarperSanFransisco.
