Adrian Fortescue and the Eastern Christian Churches by Anthony Dragani
Adrian Fortescue (1874-1923) was recognized as one of England’s foremost authorities on Eastern Christianity and helped to shape the English-speaking world’s understanding of the Eastern Churches. This book is a critical examination of his writings on the subject, analyzing what he said about the Eastern Christian Churches and highlighting his insights into key questions. It focuses on Fortescue’s understanding of the schisms and his thoughts as to how reunion can come about. The book concludes by comparing Fortescue's perspective to later advances in theology and historical scholarship in order to ascertain the long-term accuracy of his writings.

This study, undertaken by an Anglican priest with a great interest in the ecumenical dialogue with Eastern Orthodoxy, was an early historical attempt to bring the Russian Church to western eyes. Bishop begins with a history of the Russian Orthodox Church before exploring the worship life of the church, including the ornaments and liturgy of their rites. The faith and practice of the church, its hierarchy and the place of the laity are all clearly presented. Following his summary of this venerable tradition, Bishop adds his own personal impressions and observations about openness to foreign relations and communication with the Church. To ease the understanding of western readers, he includes a statement about missions in the Russian Church, the central portion of the Canon of the Mass, and notes about the Council of Florence, 1438-39.

George Bernard Hamilton Bishop (d. 1918) was vicar of Cardington and an active member of the Anglican and Eastern Churches Association before he was killed in action during World War I. This publication is his only book.
