THE former Canon Precentor of Salisbury Cathedral Jeremy Davies, pictured right, has published a new book offering advice to his fellow preachers.

In Season and Out of Season is a practical companion for clergy illustrated with examples of sermon texts, reflecting the rich doctrine of preaching in the Anglican tradition.

The book includes examples of preaching for religious festivals, sermons for all ages and rites of passage including christenings, weddings and funerals.

Canon Davis officially launched his book at Sarum College Bookshop in Salisbury.
