Description
Bishops in the Church of South India are elected and appointed-but that is only part of the process. Bishops are shaped by their life, their history and their faith in God. In reading this autobiographical book of a Bishop, it is easy to see many influences that have made Sunder Clarke the man he is and which prepared him for his role as Bishop in Madras.
Bishop Clarke life and work have proved that the call of God was strong and personal. His ministry has been varied and has drawn upon extensive gifts of pastoral sensibility, wisdom and administrative skills.
He is known as a man committed to spiritual renewal and development and the pages of his autobiography tell of his tireless work to share the good news of the God he loves and serves.
