Beskrivning

This book is an introduction to the remarkable life of Charles Plomer Hopkins. Charles Plomer Hopkins, a Victorian church organist, called by circumstance to a seamenís chaplaincy on the Indian sub-continent, eventually achieved an unlikely apotheosis in his announcement and leadership of the first, and, so far, only international seamenís strike.'The extraordinary effect of Hopkinsís ministry among seafarers on his own and other churches is only now beginning to be appreciated. His influence was profound. His troubles, often of his own manufacture, were great. It seemed apt to entitle his life story Priest in Deep Water, its ambiguity encapsulating both the general thrust of his ministry and the particular troubles by which it was dogged.'From the Introduction.

Recensioner i media

'This is a very detailed book ... it throws a powerful light on an interesting and idiosyncratic figure, and does not avoid dealing with the controversial features of the subject's life'Michael Yelton, author of Anglican Papalism: A History (2008), Alfred Hope Patten: The Shrine of Our Lady at Waslingham (2006), Anglican-Church Buildings in London, 1915-1945 (2007)'...Hopkins is an interesting figure who is not well known. Miller has thoroughly researched his life and done admirable detective work with somewhat scanty resources[...] ...This book gives us some insight into Hopkins and demonstrates his importance...' Suzanne Geissler, Anglican & Episcopal History, Vol. 82, Number 1, March 2013
