Vision Fulfilling: The Story of the Rural and Small Community Work of the Episcopal Church During the Twentieth Century

The amazing story of the work of the Episcopal Church in rural areas and small communities during the past century shows how today's society builds on the heritage of imaginative ministries developed in the more isolated areas of dioceses.

This chronological history of the "Town and Country" movement in the Episcopal Church in the 20th Century tells the story of the inspired people whose vision strengthened the Church and created new congregations and community services.

"These inspired people lived under the same traumatic conditions of life that characterized the century -- facing unparalleled social, economic, technological, political, and demographic changes", say the authors. "With faith and strength from God, they made the vision a reality".
