A very personal perspective on the Church of England by Church historian Richard Morris, son of a Parish Priest, and expert on church architecture and archaeology. It covers some history of the national church and a little detail on liturgy and custom, but mostly uses Morris's personal family story to illustrate how the Anglican church has evolved over the past eighty years. His father became a priest after the war, and Morris grew up in parsonages. We get some biographical information on his father's war time experiences as an RAF navigator, his long distance courtship with his Canadian mother, his journey to faith, and how the church changed during his multiple placements in parishes across the country. Well written and very accessible.
