Philip Hacking ‘was ordained [into Anglican ministry] in 1955 and began a curacy in the Parish of St. Helen in St. Helens, near Liverpool. This was followed by nine years as curate-in-charge / rector of St. Thomas, Edinburgh (1959-1968). In October 1968, Philip was appointed vicar of Christ Church, Fulwood, Sheffield. He remained as vicar in this parish for 29 years before retiring from full-time ministry in 1997’ (Wikipedia)
This volume is a collection of essays written in honour of an evangelical Anglican pastor who served the gospel (and continues to serve it) with deep humility and great distinction. There are 14 contributors, some of whom are household names in our evangelical constituency.
