"Divided We Stand" is the first comprehensive history of the Continuing Anglican Movement. The book examines the histoy of a relatively small movement of Episcopalian dissidents who, during the last decades of the 20th century, withdrew from the institutional church in order to form independent ecclesiastical bodies. These Episcopalian sects were developed during various waves of traditionalist discontent, which began in the 1950s, increased during the 1960s, and reached their peak in the 1970s. 
The book also chronicles the controversies within the Episcopal Church that led to the formation of traditionalist dissent, and eventually to schism, but focuses most of its attention on the internal history of the ecclesiastical bodies formed by those who broke away from the Episcopal Church.

The Continuing Anglican Movement is made up of those who strive to "continue" in the way of traditional Anglicanism, which many feel the American Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada have abandoned in their Prayer Book reforms, policies regarding the ordination of women, the full inclusion of gays and lesbians, and other issues. This is the only full-length history of the Continuing Anglican movement in the United States and Canada, an engaging, fascinating, and often painful ecclesial saga-available once again in a new edition from the Apocryphile Press.
