Congregational & Clergy Transitions

Unique Short-Term Trade Opportunity

An exchange between Priest in Church of England and The Episcopal Church in Colorado. “I want to conduct an exchange to promote goodwill around the Anglican Communion. It would be wonderful if a priest in a parish or school were willing to come and work at Chigwell School for 3-6 months. We could exchange houses and jobs.” Chigwell School is an independent school on the edge of London. It is diverse and has a rich 400-year heritage, William Penn attended the school. I know that the priest who came to this Chaplaincy would be warmly welcomed by the community. Read the Rev. David Wilson’s CV > For more information, please contact the Rev.
