Description

This book is a record, by oral contribution, of the lives and roles of fifteen clergy wives from the 1950s to the present day, as they enter a paternalistic world on the cusp of change.

Many of them are in transition from the traditionally expected role to more autonomy in their own lives as they adapt to modern trends and the needs of their families.

Some of the older contributors describe the effects of war on themselves and their families and husbands.

All reflect on the impact of the ecclesiastical world they are plunged into.

They express what it really means to be married to a priest and their faith is truly tested at times as they deal with the common themes of comparative poverty and frequent moves.

What shines through is the strength of their faith and feelings and their willingness to give dedicated service wherever they find themselves.
