I‘m not sure how to put this book into words. One of the best books I‘ve read in my life. To try and summarize it within the characters given would be to do an injustice to the depth of the tale. Just read it. That‘s all I can say.

The information is organized in a logical way. It lacks the inspirational tone I expected. It feels more like a check list.

First op shop visit yesterday. I was heading to Cardiff to visit Dance Boutique for the required theatrical pink tights so I‘m allowed to dance in the Sydney Eisteddfod this weekend! It‘s near 3 op shops so of course I took advantage of that.

The author's account of how as an adult his Catholicism re-asserted itself and what that meant as the Church hierarchy threw itself into the fight against even secular civil gay marriage in the mid 2000s. ⬇

rwmg In the beginning I thought the author was trying a bit too hard to be witty but once he settled down, this became an interesting and readable account of a tumultuous time. The book dates from 2008 and it does show sometimes with its cultural references to celebs I'd forgotten about if indeed I was ever aware of them. I would read another edition with a retrospective afterword as a properly edited ebook - this one had far too many OCR mistakes. 3mo

A good friend gave me this book, it‘s very much not what I usually read. But I‘m glad I did. There are no easy fixes or answers. Boyle asks only that we have compassion for our fellow humans.

“The strategy of Jesus is not centered in taking the right stand on issues, but rather in standing in the right place-with the outcast and those relegated to the margins.”
