Tales from the Crypt: A Life in and Out of the Church

Has a revolution taken place in Christianity, or are gay priests still objects of suspicion and disapproval? Is modern society too dominated by businesses too big to be human? Have communities lost control of town planning, or is there hope if only we connect? As both an insider and an outsider, the former reverend Robin Green volunteered to help the first drug addicts in the late sixties, throwing open the Crypt of St Martin-in-the-Fields and his best efforts into helping the needy at home and abroad. Yet he decided that society needed its mavericks as much as its ministers. Resigning from the Church, he declared his homosexuality and went into business with his partner, finding success as both an entrepreneur and in local politics. Now Robin offers a warning about the threats that face our world and an uplifting vision of what ministry means in the modern age. 'Hope is not about indulging the past. It is about embracing the future with all the lessons learnt from that past.'
