[Magdalen] A little IT help, please

[Gillian Barr]

Oh yes. We intersected in various ways in RI. One thing about Dio of
RI--they don't understand the word "retired." :-) Like most dioceses now,
they are using retired clergy extensively to fill gaps where folks can no
longer afford clergy who need benefits.

Btw, I'm now in Stonington CT. IN August I became rector at Calvary Church
Stonington and am extremely blessed and happy, if exhausted.
