Caracteristici
Bishop Kemp is greatly loved and admired. He was a formative influence on generations of Catholic Anglicans.
Recenzii
"The charm of these memoirs stimulates the reader to look at other accounts for a cross-check to Kemp's memory and perspective...we are grateful for the glimpses he does give us of Anglican church life for the past ninety years." -James Dunkly, Anglican Theological Review
"This retrospect by the bishop over a long life and ministry is full of interest on every page, and of entertaining anecdote... In addition to the autobiograophical narrative, readers will find shrewd observations about Anglican identity, occasional criticism of the General Synod and also frank acknowledgement of his own part in decisions that he subsequently thought to be unwise... There is no trace of self-advertisement; rather, we read the record of a perceptive, charitable, unassuming servant of God and the Church, a record all the more impressive and eloquent for its being understated. " Reviewed by Alec Graham in Ecclesiastical Law Journal, 2007
'a wealth of anecdotes' ~ Review on Eric Kemp, Church of England Newsletter, 28 July 2006
'The tone conveys the man: always unpretentious and equable. Harsh judgements are shunned...These memiors offer a sidelight on the history of the 20th century from a perspective that is often edited out of contemporary historiography.' ~ Church Times, Ret Revd Richard Chartres, 15/09/2006
'Undeniably, it has immense charm.'
"The reader is treated to a full but discreet account of a long and worthy life of service, but the best bits are where Kemp tells us what he really thinks"
