After a life of sex, drugs and the Communards, the Reverend Richard Coles has devoted himself to Christianity. He is now Vicar of Finedon, as well as a much loved presenter of Radio 4s Saturday Live, and a regular on Radio 2s Pause for Thought. What is life like for the parson in Britain today? For centuries the Church calendar - and the Church parson - gave character and personality to British life. Today however, as faith is no longer as privileged or persuasive, that figure has become far more marginal. With a unique insight into his daily ministry, he describes the joy, drama, difficulty and humour which life - and indeed death - serves up. Nicolette Jones is a writer, critic and broadcaster, and author of The Plimsoll Sensation.
