In this sixth collection of The Parish Life, the life of St Faithful's, Havnot unfolds across seasons of joy, grief, grumbling, and occasional hope.
The kettle is unreliable, the noticeboard is perilous, the vestry remains a place where good intentions go to become incidents, and the people of the parish continue to turn up: for worship, committees, choir rehearsals, charity shop disputes, ecological awakenings, pastoral misunderstandings, and tea.
Here are stories of the Havnot Male Voice Choir defending civilisation one approximate note at a time; of long grass, parish bees, flower festivals, and creation doing holy things while nobody is looking; of children, dinosaurs, badger ornaments, Welsh bass lines, diocesan initiatives, and practical projects that should never have been authorised. And, quietly but unmistakably, here is the deepening story of Tim Keen and Sybil Ratchett, as affection, courage, and parish surveillance combine in ways neither of them quite expected.
Comic, tender, gently satirical, and rooted in the strange beauty of ordinary church life, this volume celebrates the sacred absurdity of people who keep turning up - muddled, faithful, exasperating, beloved - and somehow find grace waiting among the biscuits.
