"'Jesus can't make everybody happy, and neither can you,' Barbara Harris tells Michael Curry in this powerful and readable chronicle of conversations between these two giants of Episcopal faith, leadership and preaching. By turns inspiring, funny, and provoking, In Conversation is the book we all need in these days when the arc of the moral universe seems far too long. I will treasure it as I treasure these two dear friends and pioneers."
—The Rev. Gay Clark Jennings, President, House of Deputies of The Episcopal Church

"In Conversation is about as real as it gets. This book is the next best thing to sitting at the feet of these giants of the faith as they tell stories about themselves and on themselves. In Conversation reveals a deep friendship while exploring vital truths about the African American experience in the Episcopal Church and the United States. As another 'first one ever' who has been mentored by both Bishop Barbara and Bishop Michael, I'm inspired anew by their courage in life and ministry."
—The Rt. Rev. Jennifer Baskerville-Burrows, Bishop, Episcopal Diocese of Indianapolis

"These two friends agree that God is sovereign, Jesus is reliable, the Spirit is able, and the church is flawed. Grit and grace forged by pain and joy is their gift to the church. That, and lots of laughter. Get ready to be inspired."
—The Rt. Rev. Robert C. Wright, Diocese of Atlanta
