- "Copyright 1975, 1982 by Monica Furlong. This a reprint of the edition originally published by Hodder and Stoughton, London, 1975." -- verso of t.-p.
- "I do not see Christian allegiance as a matter of adopting simple answers and I distrust those who thrust them upon others, particularly if they are urging various kinds of heroic behaviour which the speakers are not required to practice themselves -- the heterosexual urging sexual abstinence on the homosexual, celibate priests urging married women not to use contraceptive, or the happily married condemning divorce." "I originally wrote these pieces for the 'Church Times'". -- Preface, pp. 8, 9.
