Episcopal Catechism

Episcopal Catechism is a revised and expanded training manual for bishops, overseers, clergy, and serious students of ecclesial leadership. It brings Scripture, church history, governance, spiritual formation, and ceremonial practice into one disciplined course of study.

Book One traces the office of oversight from the New Testament and the ancient episcopate through Eastern and Western traditions, Reformation adaptations, Black Episcopal heritage, African American Holiness and Pentecostal development, and contemporary high-church Pentecostalism.

Book Two presents a structured catechism addressing calling, character, authority, jurisdiction, accountability, apostolic succession, consecration, vesture, ceremonial tradition, and the bishop’s rule of life.

Illustrated vestment references, case studies, readiness tools, a historical timeline, a model episcopal covenant, a glossary, and an extensive research bibliography make this volume suitable for personal study, episcopal formation, leadership training, and institutional instruction.
