Waters of Love

This is the untold story of an unknown, illegitimate, poor, working class East London woman, happily married with children, and her friendship with a well-known, wealthy, South African Jew who became a celibate Anglican priest, also a doctor, pathologist, retreat conductor, spiritual director and confessor, author and deliverance minister, with her mystical visions supporting his ministry and his pastoral care.

The Revd Prebendary Desmond Tillyer is the author of two books on contemplative prayer, based on the teaching of St John of the Cross. After his title parish, he worked as chaplain of Liddon House at the Grosvenor Chapel in Mayfair, caring for new university graduates and newly qualified teachers, recommended forward by university and college of education chaplains. This was followed by 32 years as Vicar of St Peter’s Eaton Square until retirement in 2006.
