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 serve as Chaplain on the Crystal Serenity sailing to Hawaii and Mexico from December 21 2019 through January 5, 2020.
