Independent Sacramental Bishops (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781933993836)

In this book Rob Angus Jones takes an honest look at "the bogeyman of validity"-the central question of the authenticity of ISM episcopacy and ISM communities. Jones brings welcome new insight as he untangles the three critical issues that historically have been lumped into this "validity" conversation, reflecting on each issue in turn: the validity of ISM ordinations (the ability to be bishops); the commissioning of ISM leadership (the authority to be bishops); and the phenomena of post-ordination episcopal consecrations and the gifts of lineages of tradition they convey. With this book Jones hopes to spark a new conversation within the ISM and with other Christians about what it means to be Independent Sacramental Christians, cherishing our rich heritage while remaining open to the leadings of the Holy Spirit for a new day.
