Book at Breakfast: Acts and Omissions by Catherine Fox

Join us for a continental breakfast and a lively and stimulating review and discussion of the current Book at Breakfast with the Chancellor, Canon Dr Dan Inman. February’s book is Catherine Fox's Acts and Omissions (Lindchester Chronicles 1).

The Bishop of Lindchester is happily married with four daughters. But does he have a secret? Archdeacon Matt is inclined to think not. That said, it's obvious to him that Bishop Paul's got a pretty big bee in his mitre about the brilliant but troubled Freddie May . . . Welcome to the fictional Diocese of Lindchester. Conceived as an affectionate homage to Trollope's Barchester Chronicles, Acts and Omissions takes you, dear reader, on a year-long romp in the company of bishops, priests and laypeople. Prepare yourself for a bumpy and hilarious ride from the rarefied heights of the Cathedral Close down to the coalface of ordinary urban and rural parishes. Acts and Omissions reveals the Church of England in all its mess and glory. It is a world shot through with grace, but one where even the best intentioned err and stray. And occasionally do those things which they ought not to have done!

Ticket price includes breakfast of coffee, orange juice, a croissant and preserves.

Tickets will be available to purchase from Monday 9 December.
