Stories and Struggles in Christian Ministry: A retired vicar
honestly tells how it was, and reflects on some controversies in
the Church today. He tells of the childhood roots of his faith, and
an experience of conversion as a student; of the vocation to
ordained ministry, of romance and marriage, and many struggles and
problems along the way. He explores whether and how God guides a
believer, and what it means to call oneself a Christian. There are
many stories of mistakes and human encounters, some hilarious and
some moving. After retirement from nearly forty years of parish
life, he discovers a new and unexpected sphere of service in
Africa. He grapples with controversies about sex and sexuality, and
honestly admits to areas of uncertainty. Finally in a moving
chapter he considers the inevitability of death, and what - if
anything - there is beyond it.
