Publisher's Synopsis
Writer and priest the Reverend Michael Coren shares the joyful, heart-rending, and thought-provoking moments that fill his life.
Michael Coren is a very rare figure: he's an ordained priest of the Anglican Church of Canada working in a parish but also an internationally known columnist and bestselling author.
In Diary of a Low-Born Cleric, Coren takes us through a year in his life, a diary of the everyday journey of a cleric, who also deals with public controversy and profile as a writer. He chronicles pain, loss, joy, doubt, abuse, poverty, crime, and many other aspects of what a priest sees every day. But he also offers historical examples, arguments for and against various beliefs, and acute observations of life around him. From his spiritual role, these gentle ripples and waves spread outward into the community he serves.

"Fearless. Unpredictable. Funny. Never boring. There's nobody and nothing like Michael Coren in journalism anywhere." - David Frum
