The Temporal Pew

Time Travel. Theology. Brit Pop. When Rev. Charlie Jones moves to the sleepy parish of St Cuthbert’s, he expects a fresh start — not a wormhole in the worship rota. But when one rogue liturgical choice lands him in a pre-Reformation Latin Mass, Charlie realises something strange is happening in this ancient village church. As he juggles incense, incensed parishioners, and an increasingly absurd correspondence with the mysterious Victorian Preservation Fellowship, Charlie must navigate not just Church tradition, but time itself. With a grumpy congregation in 2025, a spirited band of Land Girls in 1943, and one unforgettable Brit Pop Communion, Charlie is about to discover that some pews hold more than old prayer books they hold the past, the future, and maybe even the key to who he's really called to be. A warm, witty tale of change, calling, and the occasionally catastrophic consequences of trying to please everyone.
