Catholic
Orthodoxy and Anglo-Catholicism, by J.J. Overbeck (1860). Overbeck
(1821-1905) was an early promoter of the idea of a western-rite church
in communion with Eastern Orthodox churches. In this long treatise,
he examines the bases of Anglican
and Orthodox efforts toward intercommunion and reunion, and explains
his hopes for a Western Orthodox Church.

by John Henry Hopkins (1836). In this first book on Gothic architecture
to be published in the United States, Hopkins draws on his experience
of life on the American frontier to meet the architectural
needs of a growing church.
Niger
Mission,
by Samuel Adjai Crowther (1872). Crowther (c. 1807-1891) was the first
