Produktbeschreibung

Jonathan Appleford had a strict upbringing and continued to live a sheltered life during his university and theological college days.

In his final year of ordination training in Dublin, he was offered the opportunity to spend a term in an Anglo-Catholic theological college in Cambridge. It was to prove to be a transformative experience.

He returned to Ireland to begin his curacy with the Venerable Guy Morgan, rector of St. Stephen's, Lislea, a flagship of evangelicalism. But, unknown to Guy Morgan, Jonathan's theological and liturgical preferences had changed.

Deacon tells the story of Jonathan's difficult curacy and his subsequent first appointment to a remote country parish, engineered by his cunning and manipulative archdeacon/rector.

Readers of Bishop and Priest, both by Ted Woods, will recognise many of the other characters in the story as well as the Venerable Guy Morgan. There is Laurence Finch, principal of St. Olaf's school, the Revd. Wendy Morris, rector of St. Olaf's and DCI Frank Mulready who, once again, is called to solve a murder in the fictitious Church of Ireland diocese of Daneford.

Autorenporträt

I am a retired priest of the Church of Ireland, now living in Liverpool.

I served in a number of parishes in Ireland, North and South, most latterly in Rathfarnham, Dublin. I was a General Synod member, a Director of Ordinands, and worked in The Theological College looking after intern deacons in their final year.

For many years, I wrote a column on ministry for the Church of Ireland Gazette. For five years before retirement, I wrote a weekly 'soap' 'Down in St. David's' for the Gazette about the ups and downs of clerical life. On my retirement, another writer took over.

I have self-published a book on Kindle And Some There Were... a light look at 'the Good, the Bad and the Ugly' in the clergy of the Church of Ireland's past. The book includes twenty-five sketches, historically accurate, of priests and prelates from Reformation times to the twentieth century. With the aim of informing and entertaining, And Some There Were... features the rogues as well as the righteous, the murdered and the murdering, priests and bishops alike.
