Inhaltsangabe

In his frank and outspoken memoir, former Church of Ireland clergyman Patrick Semple examines his childhood awareness of religion and how the Catholic Church was perceived by the minority community of the Church of Ireland. In his varied career he moved from small country parishes to chaplaincies in three hospitals and Mountjoy Prison and he describes the diverse cast of characters he met along the way with incisive humour and compassion.
Semple discusses with refreshing honesty why he no longer believes the essential doctrines of the Christian faith and how his personal spirituality has evolved.
