There is a bit in the book where it really sounds like the changes that have happened over the many, many years of the Church... you'll see it when you read it - it's really subtle, but what a great book for a Book Club, or to study at school... just so lovely, so magical at bits, with so much human empathy... really, I can't say enough good things about The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry : )
This is such a heart warming, and heart wrenching, story... you'll love all the twists and turns on the road, and in the story, of Harold Fry's journey, and a true journey it is. Absolutely beautiful, a must read. Harold's wife, Maureen, their son, David, and their neighbor, Rex, and all the characters (in the true sense of the word) Harold meets along his path - they're a very interesting lot, and you'll come away with a great feeling in your heart for the humanity of all these people.
I highly recommend this beautiful book, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry - you'll love it.
