First Published in 1992. This title is the first volume in the 3-volume series titled Religious Information Systems Series. This updated directory recognised that the number of religious groups would not remain static as population increases, urbanization, and immigration continue to provide a nurturing environment for new religious expressions. This new edition will fill an information gap and provide basic data about each religious group and be regularly updated as changes in the religious community dictate (annually or bi-annually).

Here's the newest revised and expanded edition of Bishop Karl Pruter's standard guide to the independent Anglican, Catholic, and Orthodox Bishops located in North America. These episcopi vagantes owe allegiance to no major church body, but, in the best tradition of the early apostles, have either established small independent parishes to serve the faithful, or wander from place to place preaching the Christian gospel. The Directory is arranged alphabetically by surname or religious name, with complete addresses. All scholars of the independent Catholic and Orthodox churches will welcome Bishop Karl's newest edition to the growing literature on autocephaly.
