Description
Ivan Clutterbuck's autobiography offers a unique glimpse into the life of a prominent figure in Anglo-Catholicism. Spanning over eight decades, his story takes readers from his early memories during World War I to his long and varied service as an Army Chaplain and Royal Navy Chaplain. From parish ministry in Cornwall to teaching at one of England's most famous schools for girls, Clutterbuck's life has been marked by a commitment to serving the Church. His experiences, including eighteen years as a Chaplain to the Royal Navy, have taken him around the world, including three years on Malta. This autobiography provides a fascinating account of his time in the Church Union and his efforts to promote greater training for laity. Through Clutterbuck's story, readers gain insight into the triumphs and challenges faced by Anglo-Catholics over the past century, as well as his own personal journey and faith.
