...Geoffrey Beaumont is a learned and dedicated man of the cloth. In the gloom of his musty church in London's Camberwell section, he conducts services for his working-class parishioners in language hallowed by generations of solemn Anglican usage. But when he sits down at his creaky upright parlor piano, he is likely to let himself go in the foot-stomping rhythms of the South Side jukeboxes. Last week he held a little party at the vicarage to display an unusual wedding of his two talents: a Mass set to popular rhythms and already known...
...When Anglican Beaumont. 53, took over St. George's in Camberwell early this year, he found that he was failing to draw the Teddy Boys and other loiterers off the street corners.

But most of the other of Mr. Guinness's creations are equally memorable. He has managed to pack the essence of Guinness in these roles which reflect his range from the Lavender Hill Mob to Captain's Paradise...
...Lewis is an Oxford and Cambridge don who has long been an apostle to the well-educated agnostic. To scoop unbelievers out of the waters of doubt into the net of faith, Anglican Lewis uses all sorts of urbane literary lures ranging from Platonic debate (The Screwtape Letters) through self-confessions (Surprised by Joy) to Gothic-romantic fictional allegory (Perelandra). This last category, to which the present book belongs, displays Lewis at his most difficult...
