Description
''Touching Cloth can be compared to Adam Kay''s This Is Going to Hurt and the writings of the Secret Barrister'' Observer''I laughed my way through this... Funny, fascinating, and gorgeously humane'' Marina Hyde''Funny and touching in equal measure'' Tom HollandA laugh-out-loud memoir of becoming a 21st-century priest, Touching Cloth is also a love letter to the Prayer Book, Liverpool, funerals, cake tins, lager and, above all, to what the Church of England can be at its best. The very word ''reverend'' inspires solemnity. To be a priest is to dedicate one''s life to quiet prayer and spiritual contemplation. Isn''t it?Fergus Butler-Gallie reveals what it''s like to become a priest in the twenty-first century. Find out why black really is slimming, how to keep a straight face when someone is inadvertently hot-boxing a funeral, and which royal-themed biscuit tin can best contain a very loud personal alarm that no one knows how to switch off. Spot a sweet old lady trying to pay for a taxi with coinage from fascist Spain? Congratulations, shepherd, she''s your problem now.Behind the daily scrapes is an all-too-human love letter to the Church of England, and the amazing variety of people who manage to keep it going, providing a listening ear, company and community at a time when so many people desperately need it, as well as a reflection on what it means to follow a spiritual path amid the chaos of the modern world.
