The Vicar's FAQ: All You Ever Wanted to Know About Christianity and the Church

by Caroline Symcox

'As a new curate in the Anglican Church, I'm very aware of the general public's interest both in the business of being ordained and in the Church of which I'm a part. At parties, or at social gatherings, the same questions come up again and again. The people asking don't want to read a treatise on the matter of doctrine or the history of the Church, but want to know more.' The Vicar's FAQ is a clear, contemporary introduction to the Christian faith. Caroline Symcox's lively question-and-answer format provides a fascinating and informal way of discussing all aspects of the faith, from why the Church works the way it does to the question of whether God created the universe, why there is suffering and how does Christianity really say we should live our lives.

I thought that was an excellent piece of work. It does exactly what it says on the cover. I learned a lot and was remindedof stuff I'd forgotten. I leant it to my Dad (a retired priest) and so far he thought it good too.
