Description
A fascinating glimpse into the eccentric lives of Anglican clergy is presented in this book. From the 'Mermaid of Morwenstow', who excommunicated a cat for mousing on a Sunday, to 'Mad Jack', who swapped his surplice for leopard skin and insisted on being carried around in a coffin, these portraits reveal the Anglican church in all its colourful madness. The Revd Fergus Butler-Gallie's book is a collection of stories about individuals who, despite their unconventional behaviour, saw the church as their true calling. With a mix of humour and insight, these portraits offer a unique perspective on the Anglican church and its people. This book is a humorous and engaging look at the diversity of Anglican clergy, and is sure to appeal to anyone interested in the human side of the church.
