Full Bio

C. Andrew Doyle, ninth Bishop of Texas, describes his six-word autobiography as: "Met Jesus on pilgrimage, still walking." Bishop Doyle received his M.Div. from Virginia Theological Seminary after receiving a fine arts degree from the University of North Texas. Previous to his election in 2008, Bishop Doyle served for five years as Canon to the Ordinary. He also served churches in Temple and College Station, as well as being elected deputy to several General Conventions. He most recently served on the Structure Committee and is currently president of the Compass Rose Society, a global group of patrons and leaders making a difference in the Anglican Communion.  

Bishop Doyle's focus for ministry is service, evangelism and reconciliation, planting 15 new churches and more than 50 new "missional communities" in the next five years. An avid reader and fly fisherman, Bishop Doyle has written several books, often mixing references from pop culture's music and movies with the latest in secular leadership trends in order to reach the broadest spectrum of readers and challenge Episcopalians to move into their communities with the Gospel in word and action. His writings include: "Unabashedly Episcopalian: The Good News of the Episcopal Church", 2012; "Proudly Episcopal", 2015; "Church: A Generous Community Amplified for the Future", 2015; "A Generous Community: Being Church In A New Missionary Age", 2015; "Small Batch: Local, Organic, and Sustainable Church", 2016; "The Jesus Heist", 2017; "Vocātiō: Imaging a Visible Church", 2018; "Citizen: Faithful Discipleship in a Partisan World", 2020; "Embodied Liturgy: Virtual Reality and Liturgical Theology in Conversation", 2021.

CITIZEN

Faithful Discipleship

in a Partisan World

___________________________________

Citizen helps Christians find our place in the politics of the world. In these pages, Bishop Andy Doyle offers a Christian virtue ethic grounded in fresh anthropology. He offers a vision of the individual Christian within the reign of God and the life of the broader community. He adds to the conversation in both church and culture by offering a renewed theological underpinning to the complex nature of Christianity in a post-modern world.

How did we get here? Is this the way it has to be? Are there implications for conversations about politics within the church? Doyle contends that our current debates are not about one partisan narrative winning, but communities of diversity being unified by a relationship with God’s grand narrative. Crafting a deep theological conversation with a unified approach to the Old and New Testament, Citizen asks, what does it truly mean to live in community?
