The Episcopal Church Annual (The Red Book)
Morehouse Publishing and the Episcopal Church in the USA cooperated to bring online this searchable database of dioceses and parishes. It's possible to search for parish churches within so many miles of a particular postal code. From the site: 'Search and find 7,500 Episcopal Churches in the United States by zip code. Information includes street address, phone, fax, e-mail, websites, clergy, size of congregation, and for some, times of services and special ministries'.

This most useful online US Episcopal Church clerical directory also includes a parish-search feature.

Episcopal Church Network for Science, Technology, and Faith
'Facilitates dialogue between [the US Episcopal Church] and members of the scientific, technical, and medical communities; to be an educational resource for this Church, its seminaries, and the wider Christian community; and to provide guidelines in Christian ethics for use in everyday decisions within contemporary American culture'.
