Changing Collars

This book follows the author on his journey from a Roman Catholic priest to a Church of Ireland priest, through the religious conflicts of Ireland in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. It charts his Roman Catholic seminary experiences, his unhappiness and disillusionment with Catholicism, his conversion to the Church of Ireland, his life as a clergyman, his marriage and parenthood. This is a story about confusion, choices, consequences, and above all the story of a vocation to the priesthood that transcends denominations, vows, presumptions, and prejudice. Above all, it is a story of faith, hope and love.Hayden, Mark is the author of 'Changing Collars', published 2007 under ISBN 9781856075725 and ISBN 1856075729.
