Synopsis
After being stood up to be shot by a group of drunken Nigerian soldiers, a whiskey drinking, ‘John Wayne’ type priest takes care of him. A racist, alcoholic pastor nurses him through a near fatal bout of malaria. Devastated by the death of a young schoolgirl he then has to bury her. A Muslim friend offers him his youngest wife for the night if only he will stay in his house. Take a Priest Like You is a true to life ‘survivor’ tale. Declared at birth to be the ‘next priest in the family,’ Barrington provides a brutally honest and gripping portrayal of his struggles to find his true self, from the strict discipline of an all-boys boarding school, through ten years as a missionary in Africa. After living as a hermit for a year, followed by ministry in Scotland, Spain and Puerto Rico, he takes a momentous decision to leave the only life he had ever known. Combined with warm humor and moving insights it offers a rare glimpse into one priest’s emotional and painful journey home.
