In this spellbinding and riveting memoir, Barrington provides a
brutally honest and gripping portrayal of his life as a young
missionary priest. A racist alcoholic pastor nurses him through his
first bout of malaria fever. Stood up to be shot by a group of
drunken soldiers, a whiskey-drinking "John Wayne type" priest then
shows real caring. Devastated by the death of a twelve years old
school girl he was mentoring, he then has to bury her. Set during a
pivotal period in the history of the Catholic church and bloody
civil war in Nigeria, The Bishop Wears No Drawers is a true-to-life
"survivor" tale replete with adrenaline-pumping adventures,
daunting challenges and the added dimension of one priest's
profound religious struggle to find his true self. Combined with
warm humor, moving insights and personal testament Barrington
offers an unfettered glimpse into the rarely entered domain and
closed doors of the highest level of church management.
