Summary

At the end of his working life, a vicar in the city of London thinks of himself as a failure. No one now seems to treasure the beliefs and religious practices of his youth, the church hierarchy is seemingly obsessed only with modern marketing and business methods which he doesn’t appreciate, and any love between him and his wife has long since vanished.

Lacking any personal ambition, he takes on a rundown church and conducts his ministry there in the only way he knows: with understanding, compassion and Christian forgiveness. But in a few short months, the very building and its circumstances change him and his wife forever.
