Suburbs of New York City --> Anywhere:
I am Rector of a family-sized Episcopal parish looking for a 2-4 week summer adventure in 2015, anywhere in the Anglican communion. I can offer a small 3 bedroom, 2 bath house in Fort Lee, New Jersey, walking distance from a bus stop that will take you over the George Washington Bridge and into New York City. My car will also be available. Good Shepherd needs someone to cover Sunday preaching and pastoral care (with about 50 active parishioners the demand is light), and if you would like to offer a workshop about a topic you love you would be welcome. I offer the same. The rectory is next to the church, with a fenced in yard, and walking distance to the banks of the Hudson River for great views of NYC and the Palisades. The Rev. Allison Moore, Ph.D. Church of the Good Shepherd 1576 Palisade Avenue, Fort Lee, New Jersey, USA 07024 allimoore2448@gmail.com

Worth
Noting
Grantchester and Abp. Runcie: John Martin writes for The Living Church (Milwaukee). 'Religion and faith are at the fore in James Runcie's Grantchester, which premiered on ITV October 6. His fourth novel in the series is due for publication next May. The chief character is a clergyman-cum-sleuth Canon Sidney Chambers (James Norton), whom Runcie cheerfully admits is a loosely based on his late father.'
