&"Among the strengths of [Church and Estate is Rzeznik&'s] refusal to reduce his stories of the changes taking place [in Philadelphia] to economics and matters of social status. These are human stories in which the power of wealth and the seeking of &'spiritual capital&' and prestige and influence were ever operative, but where &'sincere spiritual yearnings&' and a &'genuine desire for sound teachings, meaningful worship and spiritual fulfillment&' also had their roles. One appreciates [Rzeznik&'s] comprehension of the complexities and mixed motivations of religious life of this era.&" &Frederick Houk Borsch, Anglican and Episcopal History.
