Publisher's Synopsis
THE LONG AND THE SHORT AND THE TALL is a book of Obituaries of some members of the Community of the Resurrection in Mirfield, West Yorkshire. The Community has existed for nearly 130 years and these Obituaries are drawn from all points of that period to give a flavour of some of the Brethren that have made the Community what it is. In this book you will find the holy rubbing shoulders with the eccentric: they came from various countries and walks of life, had different experiences before they joined CR, and different ministries within it. 'This anthology celebrates our brothers. We enjoy their foibles, are encouraged by their examples, learn from their lives,' writes Robert Mercer CR in his introduction.
