Editorial Reviews

▼▲

Very few people in a generation manage to change the whole climate of a religious culture, but Brother Roger did just this. He changed the image of Christianity itself for countless young people; he changed the church's perception of the absolute priority of reconciliation. . . And he did this without any position of hierarchical authority. --Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury
