To the arrogant members of the board, lineage, wealth, and social
status inherently guarantee their right to power and control. This
group of privileged Anglicans - citizens from the village of
Abersthwaithe on the small island of Ischalton believe they can use
their elevated role to govern over those they consider
insignificant.
One lone group stands against them. The legal officers of St.
Patrick's church in the village struggle to retain their authority
against the board, but it is a fight that will take immense
strength. The board employs every form of moral turpitude possible
in its quest for victory. They lure the people from surrounding
villages-the very people they despise-to help them gnaw at the
fabric which binds them together as a church and as a
community.
The betrayal, adultery, and murder among the members of the Board,
juxtaposed with the ignorance, naivete, and pitiable
simplemindedness of the villagers, weaves a complex tapestry of
circumstances which threaten to bring the steeple of contradiction
crumbling to the ground-and could forever alter the future of
Abersthwaithe.
"The Ecclesiastical Chronicles" is the first in a stunning new
series by Raymond Gordon that explores how the relentless pursuit
to fulfill ambition eventually leads to ultimate destruction.
