Living faith …

… Charlie Richardson's priest was flawed, but embodied Jesus's love of the fallen | Giles Fraser | Comment is free | The Guardian. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

He lived on a bottle of whisky a day and was often found slumped in his chair when he was supposed to be in church conducting a wedding. He was deeply flawed, often exhausted and cranky, but also saintly in a crazily generous sort of way. He didn't do days off. His entire life was dedicated to his parish. And he didn't care where you came from and what you had done.
