The most revealing and troubling exposé of ministry.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Hare removes the rose-colored glasses many wear about clergy in both their work and life in this provocative drama about a team of urban pastors in London. Far from making clergy war heroes, Hare instead invites the audience to see their human dilemmas and the adequacy/inadequacy of contemporary religion when confronted with the contexts of power, sex, politics, and money.
