I have seen advertisements in the "Church Times" for such things, but 
that was years ago. That's the only idea I have along that line.

There is a difference in that a visiting priest to TEC needs only the 
diocesan bishop's agreement as I had last year in SC.  C/E canon law 
insists on the archbishop's permission in addition.  I would guess that 
is pretty much a formality but the crucial thing is deciding where to go 
first of all. One way may be to approach the dioceses that are in the 
right area (Ely and St Albans) to see if they would put a notice in 
their monthly clergy mailing but I fear he is not allowing much time to 
set that up.  Most clergy having a sabbatical or thinking about an 
extended break will have made their arrangements already.

Sorry I am not being much help here.
