When the Rev. Chip Graves returned from a two-week trip to Africa on Aug. 22, he was jokingly asked, “Dr. Livingstone, I presume?”

Graves, who along with his wife, the Rev. Lisa Graves, serves as the priest in charge of both Tuckerton’s Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirit and St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church Waretown, had spent two of his days in Kenya in a typical tourist fashion, on safari.
