Fergus Butler-Gallie Twelve Churches

Subtitled An unlikely history of the buildings that made Christianity, the acclaimed writer and witty cleric is on a quest for a new people’s history of Christianity, telling it through the stories of twelve churches scattered across the globe. Through a patchwork of interlinking and varied human stories, he will take us on a physical and historical journey, exploring the role of hope, faith and beauty in Christianity, but also its fraught relationships with sex, violence and power.
