Summary

With his trademark reverence and revelry, The Revd. Fergus Butler-Gallie travels through time and place to get to the heart of the religion he is so passionate about. He takes us from Bethlehem and the birth of Christ 2000 years ago, to the immediate present and future of Christianity. He brings together a Baptist Church in the segregationist Deep South of the USA and a medieval monastery in the heart of the Greek countryside; the Vatican, the beautiful and imposing seat of Catholicism, and a tiny, sparse private church above the rocky coastline of Southern Japan, and many more. 'Twelve churches' shows us that the story of Christianity is the history of our modern world: it's a tale of who we should be, as well as who we are.
