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.
