Set Adrift: Former clergy wives speak out

By Vivienne Neville

Set Adrift

"It was revelational for me to read about the pervasive problem of marital breakdown/separation/divorce among clergy in the Church of England - but heart breaking to read about the lack of love and care given to a percentage of the clergy-families: of overnight loss of clergy partner, home, job and church. Vivienne Neville, author of "Set Adrift", highlights this grievous issue, and bravely calls for redress of the Church often turning a blind eye. History tells us God raises up reformers to address societal injustices and right wrongs - like Martin Luther and William Tyndale - which requires great courage. My prayer is that the spouses will fearlessly come forward - that the whole truth will be heard - and that the Church and public policy will respond bravely, replacing an antiquated and unfair system, with an adequate and safe National Care Policy on behalf of the vulnerable: the spouses and children".

Bob Farrell (Author of "I Will Be")

Set Adrift is a story that has never been told and should never have had to be told. The journey and lack of care, love and practical action from a percentage in church authority over the clergy spouse and children's plight is very challenging and at times very sad. However, alongside the clergy spouse stories you will be inspired, challenged and reminded of the two very simple royal laws that Jesus left us as examples of what He requires from each one of us, and that is to "Love God and Love others". There is no greater message at this moment in our church history to demonstrate by action a "Holy Love" to all people that crosses all denominations and all cultures.
