Synopsis

Curacies and How to Survive Them

About this title

Review:

''One of the most difficult issues in a training curacy is often the conspiracy of silence . . . This book tellingly breaks that silence. The vignettes are perceptive - sometimes amusing, sometimes heart-breaking - sketches which, taken seriously, throw into relief what is happening underneath the surface.'' --Sheila Watson, Archdeacon of Canterbury

''I wish this book had been available when I was a curate, training incumbent and Director of Ordinands. Its lively, conversational style makes it compellingly readable, and a combination of experience, research and pastoral wisdom results in plenty of practical insight and realistic advice. I warmly commend it not only to curates but also to anyone who has any kind of contact with them.'' --James Newcome, Bishop of Carlisle
