Always forthright and at the interface of church and the world, Stuart Barton Babbage AM is frank about his shortcomings and perceptive and observant in his recollections of personal, local and world events. His exuberant personality, sense of the ridiculous and deep faith is writ large in this entertaining and penetrating biography. Dean of both Sydney and Melbourne and head of Colleges in both cities, he has also worked in New Zealand, England, the Middle East and the United States.. 'I welcome this book. It gives a glimpse at the whimsy, irony, intelligence and kindliness that all his friends know.'Justice Michael Kirby, AC CMG
