Alan Wilkinson relates stories about the Church - its bishops and its believers - with rueful good humour and thoughtfulness, leading the reader through more than half a century of his ministry in Portsmouth and elsewhere. His portrait of the Church of England showcases both the ordinary and the extraordinary; the prosaic and the poetic. Through his fluent pen, we come to understand more of the lives of the people in the Church, such as Desmond Tutu, William Temple and Bill Sargent, who have made it what it is today: catholic, reformed and liberal.
Reviews / Votes
"I was struck as I read this book from cover to cover, that I was being given a very good grounding in Christian faith and practice. I hope that books such as this one will go some way to reanimating a "style" of Christianity which some of us still cherish."Reverend Peter McGeary, Church Times, 8 June 2018.
"Preaching the good news in the way that Anglican divines do at their best: biblical, liturgical, sacramental, incarnation, worldly, awkward, funny and deeply nourishing. Collections of addresses such as these remind us of what has been, what occasionally still is, and what could yet be again."
Peter Atkinson,Modern Believing, pp191-194, April 2020
