Because the Anglican Church has long understood the value of taking time apart from the routine of life, established religious communities have generously offered their facilities as places of respite for individuals and groups. Designed as a resource for clergy and laity who are looking for retreat facilities and for all those interested in the religious life, the Year Book provides a detailed directory of Anglican religious communities all over the world. Included in each entry are location, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail address, a history and description of the facility, service schedules, accommodations, special programs offered, names of community publications, and a variety of other information.The Year Book, with a foreword written by The Most Rev. Frank T. Griswold, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, also offers a selection of articles on religious life. Indexes of the communities by dedication or patron saint, by geographical location, and by initials, in addition to a helpful glossary, serve to make this guide extremely easy to use.Canterbury Press Staff, Canterbury is the author of 'Anglican Religious Communities Year Book 2002-2003' with ISBN 9780819219053 and ISBN 0819219053.
