At seven o clock on a Sunday morning, when most
of us are still asleep, John C. Harper is getting ready
for his hardest working day. Questions are already
crowding in on him. Is the service he has planned
too informal? Does the end of his sermon sound too
"churcby"? What will he say to the young engaged
couple he has scheduled to meet between morning
services? Is he going to be up to an afternoon of
hospital calls? And what about his appearance tonight
at the cocktail party given by a very prominent
parishioner?
In SUNDAY, John C. Harper presents a remarkably
candid, totally absorbing chronicle of one day in his
own life as an Episcopal parish priest. His parish is
St. John s Church, Lafayette Square, in Washington,
D.C., the famous "Church of the Presidents," where
every United States President from James Madison
on has at one time or another attended services.
Among Harper s parishioners are numbered the
wealthy and the poor. But to each one of them --for
a host of private reasons- the man in the pulpit has
a unique relationship. And in the receiving line fol-
lowing the service, again for private reasons, he is
addressed variously as "Father," "Mr.," "Doctor,"
"Reverend," "Rector," or "John."
