About this listen
Revelations of a life as an Anglican exorcist.
Jason Bray is an Anglican deliverance minister, which means that he works in a field more popularly associated with the Roman Catholic practice of exorcism. He banishes poltergeists and ghosts and explains the church's teachings on demons. It's much more common than you think. Every diocese has at least one deliverance minister.
As portrayed in movies, most famously in the 1973 hit movie The Exorcist, which spawned a whole genre of movies and its own category across streaming platforms, the exorcist is a frightening, sometimes melodramatic figure.
Deliverance Minister Jason Bray, on the other hand, is a warm, sympathetic and humorous character who sees it as his mission to serve the community and help families in distress. In tones closer to Call the Midwife than Blood on Satan's Claw he describes what happens when he is called upon to help. Each true-life adventure is like a detective story. Sometimes he discovers that he is dealing with mental illness. In one case he detects fraud - a family wanting to be moved to a nicer council house!
Jason Bray is the first Anglican deliverance minister to write a book about this ministry for the general listener.
©2021 Jason Bray (P)2021 Hodder & Stoughton LtdThis is however a good listen. A good listen for the knowledge of what priests do and how much of a variety of things people approach us with. Clearly the church had had a hand in "toning down" this book. At least it seems that way as our team has very different practices and theories regarding the demonic, curses and the occult that all cause paranormal and supernatural activity.
Not what all Deliverance Ministers do!

You don’t need to be religious to enjoy this (fwiw I’m an atheist) and I’d recommend it to anyone with an interest in religion, the occult, who wants a differing, honest viewpoint.

The content was often tedious and very mundane and I was left thinking how naive the vicar was.
