About the book >.>.> Brian Dominick Frederick Titus Leo Brindley was the grandest eccentric ever produced by the Anglo-Catholic movement in the Church of England. Banished by his bishop to a back street church in Reading this portly cleric turned it into an Anglo-Papalist Disneyland adorned with baroque reliquaries spiky bondieuserie and hundreds of candles. But there was more to Brindley than a ritualist. He was also an astute committee chairman in the General Synod and a learned funny and loyal friend. Then came disaster. He was forced to resign his living. But he reinvented himself as a Roman Catholic journalist filling the pages of The Catholic Herald with his quirky musings on liturgy food architecture and soap operas. Brindley’s death was as perfectly stage- managed as his services. He dropped dead. surrounded by his closest friends at his 70th birthday party in the Athenaeum Club in London on 1 August 2001.
