The Second Vatican Council (‘Vatican II’:1962-65) sought to bring Church tradition into the present and to provide a renewal for our time of all that is Catholic. Sixty years later, many of the insights which were enthusiastically supported at the time have still not been fully implemented and there are elements within the Church’s hierarchy today whose preference is to return to the more rigid and doctrinaire approach to religion which was in evidence prior to the Council. This becomes apparent by the way in which official teachings and practices frequently continue to be presented and is one of the principal reasons to explain the ongoing level of defections from within the Church and our negative rating in society at large. The aim of the book is to provide a brief summary of the contribution of Church Councils over the centuries in the development of Christian teachings and practices and the particular contribution of Vatican II in expanding our understanding of the nature and purpose of the Church. Secondly, it is an attempt to portray God and the import of the incarnation of Jesus with the benefit of modern scholarship and using a language which reflects the currents of modern thought.

About a previous book, poet Martha Collins describes Kevin Clark's ability to move 'seamlessly' between subjects and timeframes; she notes, 'Kevin Clark's poems perform the magic his passion dictates and his intelligence won't quite allow.' Indeed, the reader finds such magic, the seamless juxtaposition of incongruities in his latest book. Take, as an example, 'In Between' from The Consecrations, where he rocks between the 'pure matter' of 'simple science' while watching the 'late moonlight / glow riding' his wife's skin 'as she slept,' to the haunting call of midnight, moon, and wind that dare the poet into the dark. What he finds in that 'in between,' the seamless place where incongruities make sense of our existences, is sound that betrays 'belief / in only the tactile.' He finds, consequently, an energy or power that, 'untouchable,' emanates from her as she sleeps. The ability to see from contrary vantage points poises Kevin Clark in a place where he can lead us to the simplest blessings. This is no forgetting, and, in Kevin Clark's world, all things are consecrated and holy.

This is the story of Brighton's first season in the Premier League, but not from a purely footballing perspective. `Away' captures the 6700 mile journey that myself and my 17 year old son Jacob embarked on to attend all 19 away fixtures. Family fall outs, pre-nuptial agreements, standing and singing like the old days, teenage angst, the free counselling of radio phone in's, the relationship between Father and Son and of course the eternal question, will we stay up? `Away' also opens up the Pandora's Box of footballs biggest kept secret - supporting 2 teams. Are you a football fan? Are you a true football fan? Having a team isn't enough.... Do you feel physical gut wrenching pain when your team loses? Does a last minute winning goal render you incapable of controlling body and mind as you spiral into an ecstasy normally only reserved for carnal pleasure or substance abuse? Do you go AWAY...?

With the cause for his beatification reportedly moving along rapidly now at the Vatican, this biography of a people's saint traces the events leading up to the assassination of Archbishop Oscar Romero at a chapel altar in San Salvador and the reverberations of that day in El Salvador and beyond. This in-depth look at Archbishop Romero, the pastor-defender of the poor and great witness of the faith, offers a prism through which to view a Catholic understanding of liberation and how to be a church of the poor, for the poor, as Pope Francis calls us to be.
