In this book, Catherine Fox suggests a completely new liturgical year, starting with the Season of Football, then passing through Rugby, Cricket, and Wimbledon. High days include the Feast of the Blessed Jonny Wilkinson, and, for our friends Down Under, Billabong Sunday with its unique liturgy ("yeah, with you too, awesome priest dude"). She also identifies several biblical sporting heroes, such as Jonah, who took swimming with dolphins a whole step further. As the author's elder son observes, there are three kinds of people, those who can count, and those who can't. Extreme Anglicanism will help you score in the Great Game of Life.
Dr Catherine Fox is author of three novels published by Penguin. This is her fourth title for Monarch: the others are 'How to be Perfect', 'Scenes from Vicarage Life', and 'The Little Book of Vicarage Wisdom'. She is married to the vicar of a church in Walsall, West Midlands, and has two sons (all three feature, probably without their permission).
