[Magdalen] Sabbatical in England - not me, but I wish!

[Roger Stokes]

The first point I have to make is that I cannot offer accommodation or 
an altar.  My apartment is of very modest size and when I officiate it 
is as a guest of somebody else.  A priest ordained in and for TEC also 
needs permission from the Archbishop here, ++Canterbury for most of 
England, if they are to officiate in the Church of England as well as 
diocesan permission.  The latter might well be subsumed into the 
archiepiscopal permission for a short visit.

A clearer idea of what Fr Mark would like to do would be helpful in 
making suggestions.  I expect to be in the USA in mid-June, arriving 
back this side of the pond on the Nativity of St John the Baptist, but 
would be happy to meet and discuss C/E perspectives if he wishes.

Roger
