"A year or two after my retirement from the Foreign Service I happened to pass through Paris, and I took the opportunity to look up a couple of former colleagues posted at the American embassy there. They asked me, more than half seriously, "Is there life after the Foreign Service?" For those in the Foreign Service, operating as it does mostly overseas and mostly dealing with classified information, envisaging life on the outside can be difficult. I ventured a positive but hesitant answer to their question. With this book I am answering it with a resounding yes. Not only a life but a full life is possible, not as some totally new departure but in continuity with the Foreign Service." Reverend Theodore Lewis is an Anglican priest and retired FSO. His experience of the church in his first posts led him to seminary. Instead of continuing in a parish, however, he rejoined the Service, working at the embassy during the week and in a local church on Sundays. He is presently the resident theologian of All Saints' Church, Chevy Chase, Md. This event costs $5.
