Having served in the Dioceses of London and Southwark, Andrew Rumsey has been Bishop of Sherborne since 2019. He is the author of Parish: An Anglican Theology of Place (SCM Press). His previous books include the 2010 Mowbray Lent Book Strangely Warmed (Continuum), which was reprinted three times in its first year of publication and commended by, among others, Tom Wright and Ian Hislop – the latter endorsing it as ‘witty, erudite, eloquent and thoughtful’.
