Seventeen Years in Paris: A Chaplain's Story

A long chaplaincy at the British Embassy in Paris provides a first-person account of worship services, royal and civic visits, and the practical duties of ministering to English and American expatriates. The narrative combines descriptions of ceremonial occasions and church life with reflections on education, charities, journalism, and the difficulties faced by English residents abroad. Chapters offer practical advice for families, observations on continental religious conditions, and a survey of the Church of England’s work on the continent.
