Edward Dufresne lives and writes on Johnson Point in Penobscot, Maine.  The  tidal waters of the  Bagaduce River flow through the “Johnson Narrows” that lie at the foot of fields surrounding his home.  Edward and his wife Elizabeth walk the Point’s gravel roads each day and sail and paddle in the river’s bays and coves, always accompanied by Molly, an English Lab.  Their Maine Coon cat, Diana the Huntress, stays at home and asserts herself there in distinctive ways.  An ordained Lutheran pastor, Edward is also licensed as an Episcopal priest and serves as Priest Associate at Trinity Episcopal Church, Castine, Maine.  He travels the world serving as Ecumenical Chaplain on international cruise ships.

Pastor Dufresne will be the preacher at the installation of Pr. Elaine Hewes as Priest in Charge at St. Brendan the Navigator Episcopal Church, Deer Isle Maine on Sunday afternoon, June 21, 2020.
