The years went by faster and faster. Old people report that time speeds up, and my guess is that we stop a lot and think about things, and then wonder where the time went. Anyway, I was 71 when I was recruited to teach an online theology course and I am 77 now, ready to retire. This yearContinue Reading

Recently, I had the pleasure of attending Northeast Catholic College’s (NCC) spring conference in Warner, New Hampshire. The theme was “Classical Reception” which inspired a broad range of excellent papers delivered by students and scholars from the area–NCC, Boston College, University of New Hampshire, etc. In some ways, I was an “outsider”, arriving as I did from myContinue Reading
