John Stillman Duryea (January 19, 1918 in San Francisco, California – July 22, 2006 in Oaxaca, Mexico), was a former priest in the Roman Catholic Church and an author of Alive into the Wilderness: An Autobiography.
[2] On the same day, he received a letter from the Archbishop of San Francisco, Joseph T. McGucken, informing him that he had been excommunicated by Pope Paul VI.
Following his dismissal from St. Ann's and excommunication from the Roman Catholic Church, Duryea founded the Angelo Roncalli Community, named for Pope John XXIII.
He continued celebrating mass with that community on Sundays, for over twenty years, using University Lutheran Church in Palo Alto as its meeting place.
He used an old-fashioned large, heavy Rolleiflex twin-lens reflex camera that produced medium format 6 cm (2.4 in) square slides.
