Synopsis

Frank Allen Bullock was born in March 1887. The son of a railway signalman, he became a Unitarian preacher and eventually rose to become the head of the Unitarian church in Britain. Now his son, the historian Lord Bullock, has written a moving & detailed memoir of his father's spiritual & intellectual development. But the book is much more than an act of filial piety: it is an evocation of a world where chapel or church communities were part of the fabric of social life. It portrays a man whoseceaseless spiritual exploration is now rare in its range & passion.
