Richard Holloway – The Literary Salon – March 2012

One of the best-loved speakers at The Literary Salon, Richard Holloway makes his return to talk about his new memoir, Leaving Alexandria: A Memoir of Faith and Doubt. Having stood down as the Bishop of Edinburgh in 2000, he is known for his outspoken views on religion and for his support for many progressive causes including gay marriage. Here he talks movingly to Damian about his own life and the lessons he’s learned. Not a dry eye is left in the house. Highly recommended.
