Launcelot Fleming

This is an authorized biography of an accomplished and greatly-loved man - a figure who left his mark on the Church in the academic world in scientific institutions and in the lives of countless people who enjoyed his friendship. Bishop Antarctic explorer geologist sportsman naval chaplain and pacifist Fleming helped to found VSO the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme the Prince's Trust and the University of East Anglia. Much of the contemporary debate taking place between science and theology can be traced to his thought and initiative. Giles Hunt served as Bishop's Chaplain to him in both Portsmouth and Norwich. He is a contributor to Theology and New Fire and lives in North Norfolk.
