Exhibit, podcast, church, and book reviews featured in the autumn 2025 issue of Anglican and Episcopal History (AEH) provide a range of insight helpful to scholars of church history. Highlights from the latest issue are included below.

ENGAGED HISTORY

Engaged History considers the “Walking Together Finding Common Ground Traveling Exhibit” in the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Michigan. Leora L. Tadgerson describes it as an interactive educational installation about “the genocidal era of the Native American boarding schools from a Tribal perspective.” The project was developed in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan through a collaboration of the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Michigan, the Great Lakes Peace Center, and Northern Michigan University with a primary goal of deepening the understanding of the Native American experience.

Tadgerson’s overview is the latest example of Engaged History in AEH. These articles are an opportunity for churches, organizations, committees, schools, and other church-related institutions to report to the wider Anglican/Episcopal history community. Projects of the most interest to the journal are those whereby research initiates a change process informing the future identity, ministry, and mission of a church-related organization.

CHURCH REVIEWS

Two church Reviews take readers to services in different parts of the world. The first profile is a Sunday service at the Trinity Congregation in Shanghai, China. The congregation served a wide range of Protestant foreigners living in suburban Shanghai. The second article profiles worship at the Anglo-Catholic Church of the Good Shepherd in Rosemont, a western Philadelphia suburb in the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania.

PODCAST REVIEW

Edward Rolands reviews Episode #98 from the Episcopal Divinity School podcast series. The episode titled “the Church’s Role in Indian Residential Schools and a Path to Reconciliation" interviews Anton Treuer, professor of Ojibwe at Bemidji State University. Rowlands writes that, “Treuer’s interview is moving, insightful, and challenging to the listener.”
