'John Pridmore is an Anglican hero - and one of the few writers I know capable of making me a better person. His 'failure' in Hackney reveals so much more of the Gospel than the management-obsessed church of which he rightly despairs.' The Revd Dr Giles Fraser, Rector of Putney
Join us for a lunch-time drink to celebrate John Pridmore's Inner City of God: The Diary of an East End Parson.
Out of a situation which many would give up on, John Pridmore writes a captivating, moving, funny and self-deprecating account of life as an inner-city priest in one of the most deprived parts of London. His jottings, he says, are a collection of the absurd, the poignant and the comic.
They are emphatically not a record of ‘good practice’, he insists, but anyone countenancing working in a city parish will find more wisdom in this book than in all the theological volumes on the subject put together.
