Into Deep Water
Neil Burgess
Product # 1500190
$11.95
Into Deep
Water is an account of the experiences of twenty curates at the
start of their ministerial careers in the Church of England. Neil
Burgess's study, written around verbatim quotations from in-depth
taped conversations with these curates allows them to tell their own
stories.
Amid the human
interest, Dr Burgess draws challenging and disturbing conclusions
about the burdens, expectations and training of curates,
highlighting problems of attitude and structure in the Church. But
he offers, too, constructive suggestions as to how these problems
may be remedied.
Into Deep
Water is essential reading for all those concerned with the
future and quality of ministry in the Church of England - bishops,
training incumbents, clergy and lay people alike.
