just didn't happen - as you may have noticed. No surprise there, then!
However, this doesn't mean I'm not busy reading...
Sillies for the week, thanks to my ever-wonderful public library were
(an amiable historical whodunnit, with good period detail and well drawn characters)
(set in India AND a detective story: how could it fail?)
But I'm doing some proper reading too -
John Pritchard's The Life and Work of a Priest
is so wonderful that I'm re-reading and taking notes as I go and will give it a post of its very own shortly. Highly, highly recommended - one of those books that makes you want to cheer every few sentences. Thank you, LMC, who produced it for Christmas.
John Pritchard's books has in my view become this era's replacement for Michael Ramseys " Christian priest Today" which has been the set read for some many vocations teams ACCM, ABM etc.What is both useful and inspiring about it is that it combines a functional understanding of the practical challenges facing priests in todays world (and today's Church) with a sense of priesthood being about "being" as well as doing.
