Rev David B. Smith

Sex, the Ring and the Eucharist: Reflections on Life, Ministry & Fighting in the Inner-city Rev David B. Smith

Father Dave is a man who is as unconventional as he is remarkable. He is the only Australian in Holy Orders to have ever boxed professionally to help raise money to keep his ministry going. He is Sydney?s ?Fighting Father?, who combines his regular work as a Parish Priest with a ministry to streets kids, heroin addicts and other undesirables from the underside of Australian society.

?Sex, the Ring and the Eucharist? is a series of snapshots from Father Dave?s life. The book, like the author is hard-hitting and straight talking. The language will shock some. Others will be put off by Dave?s criticism of the established church and the legal system that is, at points, quite savage. And yet there is a pervading sense of faith and hope running through this book that is inescapable and infectious.

?Sex, the Ring and the Eucharist? is an intimate insight into one man?s life that has the potential to change the lives of its readers
