An informative and moving account of the days when women could only be deacons in the Anglican Church. The hugely popular TV series 'The Vicar of Dibley' transformed British attitudes to women priests. A few years before it was created things were very different. Jill Swallow faced ignorance and prejudice every day. But she recounts her experiences as a deaconess in the time before women priests with humour and insight. We read of the characters and events of parish life, happy and poignant. Who would dare cross the Mothers' Union? Or bring the organist to his knees? Jill met these challenges and managed to keep smiling.
