- "This is a fairly personal book. It records 40 years of cut and thrust in the Church of England's General Synod and kindred bodies, as I have seen it, experienced it, and on occasion handed it out myself. Much is told from my personal standpoint, and the selection of themes derives from my own involvement. It is not autobiography, but an attempt (as in my other writings) at accurate journalism. .... Oh yes, and remember I am not telling it the way it was. No one on earth can do that. I am telling it the way I have found it". -- Intro.
