The Revd Richard Coles is talking about his book Fathomless Riches: Or How I Went From Pop to Pulpit at Foyles tonight on the eve of publication.
He is parish priest of Finedon in Northamptonshire but better known for appearing on Radio 4. He is now described as ‘the country’s best known vicar’.
He was curate at St Paul’s Knightsbridge before moving to the present church in his home country.
This book is volume one (more next year) dealing with his childhood and pop music life.
An important church in Richard Coles’ life prior to ordination is St Alban’s Holborn where he was confirmed and had a significant experience whilst attending a Solemn Mass.
