Western Massachusetts --> Northern Britain
I'm a 62 year old priest from the Diocese of Western Massachusetts in the USA. I'd like to exchange with a priest in Great Britain this coming summer (2010) for at least four weeks. My preference would
be a village parish in northern England or Scotland. I am currently the rector of a parish in Westborough, Massachusetts, approximately thirty miles west of Boston, and forty miles northwest of Providence,
Rhode Island. If you'd like to discuss this in detail, contact me via email at frbilmrtn@aol.com.

Worth
Noting
I am a closet Christian: At least, I was until now. Because in my circle, nothing is more embarrassing than being religious.
In Defense of the Liberal Arts: Jon Meacham writes for Newsweek (US). 'I love Sewanee, an Episcopal university tucked away on 13,000 rural acres of the Cumberland Plateau. It is a place where students and faculty wear academic gowns to class, where the vice chancellor also serves as mayor, and where I spent four years without having a key to my room, much less locking it. Modernity intrudes with a single full-time traffic light on campus, but for years that incursion was ameliorated by the sight of a professor of religion's cat taking a daily nap on the street directly beneath the light. People knew to steer clear.' |
