Steps Along Hope Street: My Life in Cricket, the Church and the Inner City - Softcover
David Sheppard's particular blend of interests single him out as unique among Anglican bishops. An outstanding sportsman as well as a dedicated cleric, many will remember him first and foremost as an English cricket captain. Others will recall his ecumenical strengths and his partnership with the Roman Catholic Archbishop, Derek Warlock, when they were both incumbents in Liverpool. However, it is his concern for the poor and disadvantaged, and his refusal to collude with Westminister politics, that has made him such a strong personality in the church. This book offers an insight into a man who is uncomfortable with theological stereotypes and is concerned to cut through "comfortable" Britain.

About the Author:
Born in 1929, David Sheppard was educated at Cambridge and was ordained a priest in 1956. He began his ministry as curate at St Mary's, Islington, London, becoming Warden of the Mayflower Family Centre, Canning Town in 1957. From here he remained in London as Bishop of Woolwich before he made the move to Liverpool in 1975 where he served as Anglican Bishop and worked closely with Derek Worlock, the Roman Catholic Archbishop. Cricket has always been a great love and he played for England from 1950 until 1963. He is married to Grace, has a daughter, Jenny and two grandsons. He and Grace now live in Wirral, Merseyside in relaxed retirement although he is an active Member of the House of Lords.
Review:
As former England cricket captain he fought apartheid, as Bishop of Liverpool he challenged Westminster. This is the autobiography of the dauntless Right Revd Lord Sheppard.
