Peter Green is a legend in the Diocese of Manchester, and a figure held up as an example, whose writing featured in my confirmation preparation long ago. His writings emphasise the need for the Anglo-Catholic faith and devotion to go hand in hand with evangelism, resulting in personal commitment to Our Lord. I believe that despite the change in social conditions Green’s advice about the importance of the parish ministry is relevant today, as is his warning of the danger of secularisation to both Church and Nation. I commend this book as a spiritual resource. by Nigel Manchester - Bishop of Manchester
