It has often been said that the only time bishops have been popular in England is when seven of them were sent to the Tower by James the Second. Whether this is true or not, bishops have always come in for a good deal of censure and misunderstanding. They often speak wise words which go unreported, but should they speak a foolish one it receives wide and unfavourable publicity. Most Anglicans seem to like their own diocesan - 'our bishop' as they call him - but they are as apt as non-Anglicans to be suspicious of 'the bishops'. With these considerations in mind, the Bishop of Llandaff has edited this book about bishops, containing a number of essays, some theological, some popular in tone, intended to give people an idea of what bishops do and are and of the problems which confront them. The contributors are nearly all bishops, and include the Archbishop of Liverpool and the Metropolitan of Myra. NOT EX LIB R1. Very Good/Good.
