Product Description

Review

This book provides more than just an insight into the private lives of bishops' partners. It gives a breadth of information about the worldwide Episcopal Church. The variety of contributors adds to the book's interest as each chapter charts the adventures and the search for identity and purpose of many who did not choose to be married to a bishop, but have risen to the challenge. Jane Williams has given us an easy evening's read which deals with both the glamour and the perception of 'other worldliness' in an honest and humble way. It will appeal to anyone who has ever wondered what lies behind the public role of a bishop. --Sheila Church, Reform

Jane Williams brings together the experiences of women whose husbands serve as bishops within the worldwide Anglican Communion in this fascinating book. Although it deals with a relatively small and unique group of people, it's basically the story of husbands and wives facing challenges together and proving, through all the tensions and trials, the reality of love. --Woman Alive


Product Description

Jane Williams knows a thing or two hundred about being married to a bishop - and an archbishop. She also knows many other bishops' wives and an Episcopal husband or two. In this absorbing book, she pulls together the experiences of a unique band of diverse individuals whose common bond is an attachment to the higher echelons of the Anglican Communion.Bishop's spouses discuss their lives openly; many for the first time. There are glimpses of struggles with bureaucracy, with feelings of powerlessness in the face of major upheavals, and of frustration at the difficulties of balancing duty, marriage and the time to be yourself. Yet the overall impression is of a richness of life and opportunity, a sense of privilege and of grace to surmount challenges that none of the spouses imagined or sought."Marriage and Mitres" is a book with a relevance far beyond the small group of people whose lives it explores; it is a story of husbands and wives facing challenges together, even when 'together' means being apart for a while; and it is told with gratitude when it would be easy to slip into an attitude of 'us against them'.Set against the backdrop of the diverse worldwide Anglican Communion, the stories told here are ultimately those of the partnership of marriage, proving through its tensions and trials the reality of love.
