Dear Friends,

"The time has come," the Walrus said,

"To talk of many things:

Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--

Of cabbages--and kings

- Lewis Carroll

I am sorry I am not talking to you in person, but I have to share some news about my time with you as your interim rector.

Over the last several months my wife Pat Stelz and I have been trying to get our landlord to extend the lease of the condo we rent at Pine Harbor. Those efforts have proved fruitless and, even should we eventually be provided a short extension of the lease, I have realized that it is time for me to retire from full-time ministry and move to my next stage in life and service.

This is proving a difficult decision for me to make and particularly so since All Saints has not as yet called its next rector. I had hoped and prayed that I could continue ministry with you until that work was accomplished. It may still happen while I am with you. Bishop Rob and Canon Anderson are determined to find well qualified candidates to refer to our rector search committee and have assured me that, should you not be able to call a rector prior to June 30th, 2014, my last day as your interim, they will have put together a most capable team to be with you as your clergy companions during the final stages of the search process.

This is a wonderful parish and I have deeply appreciated working with you its members and leaders. The work you do of caring for others and sharing the Good News of the Gospel in your daily and community lives continues to amaze and uplift my spirts and feed my hope for the future of parish ministry and the Church. As St. Paul wrote many generations ago referring to another group of dedicated Christians, you have all the gifts, talents and faith you need for the work of ministry and spreading of God's reign.

Pat and I intend to settle in New Hampshire, somewhat further south than Wolfeboro, perhaps between Concord and the ocean.

This has been a wonderful time of living and growing for us and both Pat and I are deeply grateful for the time we have had with you.  We have a number of months still....

May God continue to bless us all in our life together.

Yours in Christ Jesus,

The Rev. Edward G. Rice
