"Rest easy, William, Leicester will look after you and keep you safe from harm." |
| Synopsis: |
"Rest easy, William, Leicester will look after you and keep you safe from harm."A heartwarming biography of William Bentney, Leicester's long-forgotten Jesuit priest. For fans of Niall Williams and James Martin, SJ.In Plain Sight documents the life of a man who deserves to be remembered. He died for his faith and was loved and respected by a town that was tolerant, a relatively safe haven for nonconformists.When it was treasonous to be a priest, William Bentney kept a low profile in Leicester for forty years. Not judged a high flyer by the Jesuits, he was sent as chaplain to a prosperous but not distinguished wool merchant. Those who knew him guessed his real role, but they liked the `gardener' and out of kindness they let him be.Betrayed when old and frail, the people of Leicester refused to testify against him. Confined to his prison cell, he felt useless without a sacramental life, without the chance to look after those who had been placed in his care. Father Bentney survived into his eighties. He felt a burden to those who supported him. Until he found a new vocation. Something was different about this man. Something was different about Leicester. |
