Episcopal Bake Sale Draws Raves; Lonely Hearts Reverend “A Catch”

RIDGEFIELD, NEW JERSEY: The eagerly anticipated St. Thomas Episcopal Church Summer Bake Sale is upon us. (see http://www.stthomasheislord.org) “Every year I buy Elizabeth Benton Townsend’s chocolate bundt cake–it’s just extraordinary,” said Annabelle Bingham Pennington, who is on several of the vestry committees of the church. “People come from all over Bergen County. It’s marvelous!” enthused The Most Reverend Everard Abingdon-White. [Wally–add photo of Rev. A-B here–he’s handsome, women like that] “I wish we could get Father Abingdon-White to marry again,” Mrs. Pennington confided quietly. “It was so awful when his wife ran off with that junior executive. And he doesn’t even work for a bank. It’s a credit union!” (Anyone who thinks of a refined lady who may be right for Rev. Abington-White can contact Pennington at prettypenny@yahoo.com).
