The Revd Fergus Butler-Gallie

About the Author

The Revd Fergus Butler-Gallie is an Anglican priest, historian, and author whose work delightfully illuminates the quirky underbelly of ecclesiastical life and the heroic exploits of clergy in turbulent times. With a keen eye for the eccentric and the extraordinary, he draws on his own experiences in the Church of England to craft narratives that blend rigorous scholarship with wry humour and infectious enthusiasm. His debut book, A Field Guide to the English Clergy: A Compendium of Diverse Eccentrics, Pirates, Prelates and Adventurers; All Anglican, Some Even Practising, offers a rollicking tour through centuries of clerical oddballs, while Priests de la Resistance!: The loose canons who fought Fascism in the twentieth century uncovers the daring stories of priests who defied tyranny during World War II. Butler-Gallie's writing celebrates the human spirit within the robes of faith, reminding readers that history's greatest tales often hide in the most unexpected pulpits.
