That parish priest is some kind of weirdo.
E-book, Czech
That parish priest is some kind of weirdo.
An impractical daydreamer with their head somewhere in the clouds. A well-fed prelate with an endless appetite. This is how a significant part of our society imagines the clergy. Not that such people don't exist, but among vicars and priests, we also find quite different types.
An intellectual you're most likely to meet at an ice hockey game or in the pub. A farmer who has the most free time at the weekend because he's always fixing something in the barn or sitting behind the wheel of a combine harvester. A guide dog trainer who enjoys going to church just as much as she enjoys not going to church. A rock musician who hosts a show about hardcore music on a youth radio station.
These are the kinds of personalities who manage Czech and Moravian parishes and congregations. And these are the people you will meet in this book. The book *Ten farář je nějakej divnej* (That Priest is a Bit Weird) presents seven interviews with clergy from various Christian churches (Filip Boháč, Alexandra Jacobea, Pavel Jäger, Pavel Semela, Sandra Silná, Petr Wagner, Jan Wirth). It showcases not only their distinctive interests but also their similarly unconventional way of thinking about faith and non-belief, about themselves and about us. It's quite possible that this is precisely the way to bring Christianity closer to people for whom visiting a church is something completely unrealistic. They assume they'll encounter the Middle Ages there. In reality, an unconventional, long-haired chap with an electric guitar in his hand is developing ideas about founding a hobbit monastery.
