About this listen

The Bishop of Lindchester is happily married with four daughters. But does he have a secret? Archdeacon Matt is inclined to think not. That said, it's obvious to him that Bishop Paul's got a pretty big bee in his mitre about the brilliant but troubled Freddie May . . .

Welcome to the fictional Diocese of Lindchester, where you will be taken (dear listener) on a yearlong romp in the company of bishops, priests and lay people. Prepare yourself for a bumpy and hilarious ride from the rarefied heights of the Cathedral Close down to the coalface of ordinary urban and rural parishes.

Acts and Omissions reveals the Church of England in all its mess and glory. It is a world shot through with grace, but one where even the best intentioned err and stray. And occasionally do those things which they ought not to have done . . .

could Ms Fox be the David Attenborough of the Church of England? with a healthy mix of kindness and synecism this rarefied world is described. the unlikeliest characters are revealed as truely human and the unlovely deeply loved. a wonderful listen. thank you.

so very well observed!

First, a great book very well read.
Second, a good snapshot of some of the issues facing the C of E in 2012. Many still here today.
Kind, but not afraid to tackle issues. No simplistic solutions.
Flawed characters easy to love and like. Slightly rose-tinted!

Really good
