The Diocese of Connecticut publishes a newspaper, sent to all Episcopal households in the diocese, and some others as courtesy or upon request. Current issue is posted online here, above, and requires Acrobat reader 6.0 or later (which allows the file to be smaller). Download the current version of Adobe Reader here - there's a link on that page to Readers for previous versions if your machine's a bit older.) In 2010 budget constraints allowed three issues to be printed, in January, June, and early October. Advertising is accepted; please call or email to discuss options.
Address updates/changes welcome. Contact Sharron Ring, mailings@ctdiocese.org
Parish offices: Please request a Good News audit list, we're not yet fully able to send and receive electronic files for the database: Make changes on the audit, including deletions, and return with any new additions. Request of Sharron Ring, mailings@ctdiocese.org.
Advertising is accepted (but not for insurance, travel agencies, or financial instruments). Ad sizes and rates changed in July 2008 due to a change in the commercial press used by the printer. Click here for the ad kit and contract. Note:
Suggestions
The newspaper includes stories of local ministry and mission, some as brief "pearls" of parish news, and others as longer stories or features. Please contact the editor, Karin Hamilton, 860-233-4481 (800-842-0126 in CT) ext. 130 or editor@ctdiocese.org if you would like to talk about story or photo ideas, or if you have suggestions. Unsolicited manuscripts are not guaranteed publication.
The paper's brief calendar section focuses on diocesan events; see the online calendar for more events.
