I had Rabbi Applestone perform my ceremony w/ an RC Priest at my hall. I *believe* he will officiate in a church... as long as the church is amenable. Anyway, if you do a search you'll definitely find his number - some of the current BTB's are using him.

BTW, he was $500 in October, 2001.

Good luck!

Edited to add that my ceremony was 20 minutes and beautiful!! People still comment on how it was just right!

We had Rabbi Lowenheim. Not sure if he will offiate in a church, but he has other RC priests that he works with. He was $500. He's in Coram and might be in the phone book. I'll get you the number if you want. email me at [email protected] if you need the #. Don't forum mail me. I don't come on here as much anymore.
