In this lively and hopeful volume, John Pritchard realistically
maps out the life and work of those called to serve God in the
ordained ministry. He looks in turn at the only three things he
believes need be of concern: the glory of God, the pain of the
world, and the renewal of the Church. From these flow the priest's
many roles, such as spiritual explorer, multi-lingual interpreter,
wounded companion, friendly irritant, creative leader and mature
risk-taker. This book pays homage to Robert Martineau's The Office
and Work of a Priest, published in 1972, and much valued as a wise
account of the duties of a priest at that time. "Dipping again into
John Pritchard's The Life and Work of a Priest for this review
reminded me what a remarkable, wise, and humane book it is. It
covers just about everything parish life might throw at clergy.
Well, not quite everything. If you're troubled by sylvan revels or
cohabiting bandits, I'm afraid you're on your own." Paul Handley,
