Ken Leech reader: 'A real treasure'

Prayer and Prophecy: The Essential Kenneth Leech

Edited by David Bunch and Angus Ritchie (Darton, Longman and Todd, Pbk 19.95, ISBN 978 0 232 52765 0)

Kenneth Leech is one the great prophetic voices in contemporary Anglicanism, and the vitality and relevance of his work is as keenly felt as ever. Prophecy and Prayer brings together his essential writings on theology, spirituality and politics. The increased awareness of the role of faith communities in civil society and politics (particularly in inner-city areas) makes Leech's work of considerable contemporary interest. The book is launched in celebration of Fr Ken's 70th birthday, with a foreword by Alasdair MacIntyre.
