Exchanges
Maryland
USA -> Dublin, Ireland in 2012
A priest
in the Diocese of Easton (Maryland) would like
exchange with priest of a parish church in or near Dublin, for
four to six weeks in 2012. He would prefer
no weekday responsibilities except in emergencies. He would
require a house or apartment suitable for two (with room for
two guests) and the use of a car. His
church is in Trappe, Maryland, a small town of mostly farmers
and waterman close to the Eastern Shore, on the Chesapeake
Bay. House is seven miles from the church in a quiet town
of 25,000 people, many retired. The house is
one floor, with three bedrooms and 2.5 full baths, with
air cooling and central heating. Car would be available. Washington
DC, Annapolis, and Baltimore are easy day trips. Duties
include one Eucharist on Sundays and, as needed, pastoral visits.

Worth
Noting

Hope and Ethnography: Dori Grinenko Baker writes for the Alban Institute. 'Over the past decade, ethnography has become a popular way to engage in learning with people in congregations. The more researchers began using these tools unapologetically, the more they began seeing within them ways to improve the practice of ministry.' |
