News - I have moved, although I am still in the same residence, but a new room and therefore a new phone number. Which is
212
606-3420
No News - Had a very good meeting with the Provincial, and came away with an interesting sense of how he sees me and things he is interested and pursuing. But there is still no specific assignment.
Good News - The good news is that the Provincial thinks I should stay in New York, so I will be in residence at 83rd Street, and am now officially the chaplain for the NY Notre Dame alumni association. Further good news - he wants me to explore ways to have a greater Jesuit presence in the arts, ways to support Jesuits in the arts and to encourage youngr Jesuits who are interested in the arts. I have been exploring one good possibility - that conversation is still under way - and we'll see what else develops.
So there are still a lot of unknowns, and technically I am still "on sabbatical" until the end of August, but the possibilities all look good.
Those of you who have been praying - don't stop. Those who haven't - start.
