An Interview with a Former Anglican

The Catholic Herald interviews Fr Christopher Tuckwell, former Anglican who now has the daunting task of preserving the mother church of England and Wales.

Christopher Tuckwell was born in Kingston upon Thames in 1945, soon after the war ended. After attending Malvern College he went on to the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, before joining the Queen’s Royal Surrey Regiment and serving as a platoon commander in Germany and Bahrain. He excha
