'An absolutely beautiful piece of work which well catches Archbishop Habgood, the last Anglican theologian I used to make the walk to the Lords' chamber to hear speak. Lord Habgood would smile with pleasure and amusement to read it.' MATTHEW PARRIS

'David Wilbourne offers a warm, perceptive portrait of one of the great Anglican intellects of the last hundred years. Those who thought John Habgood only a cerebral and rather remote personality will find a very three-dimensional figure here . . .' ROWAN WILLIAMS

Autorenporträt
The Rt Revd David Wilbourne was the Assistant Bishop of Llandaff from 2009 until 2017, and previously worked as chaplain to two Archbishops of York, John Habgood and David Hope.

He is a frequent after dinner speaker, radio and TV broadcaster, guest preacher and retreat and conference leader. Renowned for his ability to strike a balance between the humorous and the poignant, the latest of his many books - Shepherd of Another Flock: The Charming Tale of a New Vicar in a Yorkshire Country Town - was hailed by the TLS as 'glorious'.
