Stop The Parish: I Want to Get Off!
Dear God,

My book is out and I'm in the dog box. Tom says I've ruined his authority at St Jude's with the bit about his Tom and Jerry underpants and his penchant for Sugar Puffs.

The boys say their girlfriends have dropped them like hot cakes and that they'll never leave home with a mother like me who reveals all.

And there's a deathly hush from St Jude's congregation who are slowly going into shock as a single copy does the rounds.

The only bright light is John Taylor, the Bishop of St Alban's, who thinks it's 'Brilliant ----amusing and moving'. There's a gift of discernment for you, God.

The Wife of the Rector

PS. Mother doesn't like my photo. Says it makes me look like Auntie May who ran away with a Roman Catholic Jewish corset salesman.


With wit and warmth Audrey describes in her letters to God, life in the Grade 2 listed, crumbling, Georgian refrigerator, otherwise known as The Rectory. (The Church Times)

STOP THE PARISH, I WANT TO GET OFF ! was serialized on Radio One, Canberra, Australia, and on Premier Radio, London.

About the Author

Audrey and Tom live in a parish near Bognor Regis. Before coming to the UK for Tom to train for the ordained ministry as a late ordinand they lived in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. ‘Dear God, why me?’ Audrey demands. ‘Five years ago I was the wife of a successful business man. I’d never manned a church hall tea urn nor run a jumble sale’. Her three sons Derek, Anthony and Martin who are all for Dad doing his own thing don’t seem to realize that he has to ‘do it’ on a much reduced salary; that the Archbishop of Canterbury doesn’t grant bonuses. When she met Tom he was agonizing over winning contracts. Now, 25 years later, he is agonizing over winning souls! She is now the wife of the Rector of St Jude’s and Sammy and Pooky the rectory’s dog and cat.
