This post should come as no surprise, as I have barely updated the blog since I arrived back in New York this past August.
I imagine in this last year of studies that I will not be updating the blog very much. As much as I would like to devote more time and energy to it, I find that most of my mental energy is directed towards study and paper writing, leaving little left in my reserve to offer anything of substance at the current moment.
A blogger should have something to say, but unfortunately I currently find myself having little to offer at this current time. Unless a wave of inspiration hits me, I imagine that you probably won't be hearing from me too often for the time being.
Until next time, I am retreating from the blog (which I already have been doing anyway). I have less than a year left to learn from and to listen to those who know much more than I do before I enter into full time ministry. It is primarily a time for me not to teach, but to be taught and to take in from the wisdom of others. The journey over the past two years at Fordham have certainly been tough in a lot of ways, but I believe the academic formation is important in a world that increasingly sees faith and the Church with greater skepticism. Hopefully, by the end, this time of study and reflection will have prepared me to offer words of greater depth and insight.
God Bless. AMDG

Good luck with the final year of these studies, Ryan!
Oh, I wish you would post occasionally, even just tidbits about what you're studying. Having just finished seminary, I am a total nerd about that sort of thing.
And you might be interested: winter term a year ago, my main course was missiology, in which our very Presby professor devoted a great deal of time to the Jesuits, of whose mission work he is deeply enamored!
