Giles Goddard embodies the story of the Church of England's struggle to be more diverse and inclusive. In Generous Faith, he reflects on his experiences of pushing the boundaries of inclusion to include refugees, those of other faiths, the street homeless, climate activists, and anyone for whom his central London church could be a place of sanctuary and hospitality. Anyone who dreams of a more generous, colourful, courageous and daring faith will find kindred spirits in Giles's community. Generous Faith tells their story through the pattern of the Christian year with its seasons of preparation, retreat and growth.
