Changing Scenes: Changing Ministry in a Changing Church in a Changing Land

Using an autobiographical approach, Brian Mayne, for many years rector of Down Cathedral and editor of the 2004 edition of The Book of Common Prayer, looks at the changes in the way the Church of Ireland worships and in the way its ministry has been carried on from the time of his vocation to the church's priesthood in 1952 to his retirement in 2001. This is set against political, cultural, and social change that has affected the whole island of Ireland.
