Drawn Three Ways: memoir of a ministry, a profession, and a marriage
A. E. HARVEY

A senior Anglican cleric, New Testament scholar, musician and social activist: Anthony Harvey has great gifts. Now in his mid eighties, he can take justified pride in the many achievements recorded in this memoir.

Though exercised for the most part near the heart of the British establishment – Harvey spent decades as an Oxford don and later a canon of Westminster – the ministry of his subtitle has included notable work among asylum seekers in Britain, and other disadvantaged groups in El Salvador and the Democratic Republic of Congo. His profession as an astute, lucid biblical commentator grew out of a classical training, starting at Eton in the 1940s. His marriage to Julian, a poet and painter who died last year, forms the central panel in his autobiographical triptych.
