Housing Project

The presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church has an office (in Manhattan) but no diocese--and no official house to live in. To remedy this situation the church this week announced that it had taken an option on a 98-acre, 18-building estate in Greenwich, Conn.

If the deal goes through, Presiding Bishop Henry Knox Sherrill will occupy a guest cottage, join Greenwich's sleek confraternity of daily commuters to Manhattan. Vacationing missionaries and other visitors will lodge in the 40-room, ten-bathroom main house. The new center will be called Seabury House (after Samuel Seabury, first president of the Episcopal House of Bishops in the U.S.).
