Agnes Sligh Turnbull The Bishop's Mantle ➤ The Macmillan Company 1948
Title: The Bishop's Mantle
Author: Agnes Sligh Turnbull
Format: Hardcover
Publisher: The Macmillan Company 1948
Size: 5 1/2 x 8 * 314 pages
Synopsis: Hilary Laurens, a young Episcopal priest about 1939, has recently returned to his hometown, somewhere in the American heartland. Gets sudden word that his grandfather, the Bishop of that diocese and the only father he's known, has suddenly taken ill and is dying.
The novel, although it has a plot, and is written by a woman (and women were not permitted be Episcopal priests at the time the book was written), is something of an exploration of inner and outer life and moral conflicts of a dedicated Episcopal priest (no existential crises of faith as in books by non-religious authors, but many shadows of the temptations of the world, to which Hilary never permanently succumbs). However, Hilary is conflicted by the number of poor working-class people in his parish in desperate need of his care, despite the presence in his own vestry (church governing body/board) of powerful men who may be responsible for some of that misery.
