Paulist Vocation Retreat : Feb 2-3
2008-01-11 04:43:00 If anyone (and by "anyone," I really mean single males over twenty) is interested in learning more about the Paulist Fathers and would like to come to D.C. for the weekend, we are having a vocation retreat here at the house on the weekend of Feb 2nd and 3rd. It's a no-pressure weekend for anyone who is thinking about religious life and just wants to ask some questions, or if you are looking at different religious communities and interested in seeing what we're about. We often cover travel expenses for those coming a long distance; if you're interested in getting more information, e-mail me at ks_intention@yahoo.com. We have a couple of big screen TVs, a pretty bitchin' movie collection, and an indoor gym, so it's definitely worth checking it out. And for the women, I do keep arguing that we need to start letting chicks come... when I make more headway on that, I will let you know.
Recruiting as a Vocation?
2008-01-03 06:13:00 The other day I was listening to a speaker at a workshop and one thing he said stuck with me. ?No one decides when they are a little kid that they want to be a Recruiter; most of us stumble into the profession.? He didn?t mean for this statement to be received negatively. Nevertheless it ...

Vocation discussion
2007-11-29 03:46:00 We've had a lot of discussion within the community regarding vocations. In absence of an actual post, I thought I would the two cents I sent out on our list serve.A lot of discussion has gone on concerning the state of vocations, and the same question continually pops into my mind:Is it our mission to be a religious community... or is it our mission to evangelize North America? In asking that question, I am in no way suggesting that we take our foot off of the pedal in trying to pursue more people to join our community. Indeed, I do agree that there is more that we could be doing to invite men to become Paulist priests and we should be doing all we can in that area. But it also seems to me that the heydays of vocations largely had a culture of vocation behind it (Catholic schools, families with eight kids, culture localized a local church, etc.) - for better or for worse, we no longer have that culture to support us in such a dramatic way. This leads into the question of orthod...

DON'T MISTAKE YOUR VOCATION: Golden Rules for Making Money
2007-10-14 10:03:00 The safest plan, and the one most sure of success for the young man starting in life, is to select the vocation which is most congenial to his tastes. Parents and guardians are often quite too negligent in regard to this. It very common for a father to say, for example: "I have five boys. I will make Billy a clergyman; John a lawyer; Tom a doctor, and Dick a farmer." He then goes into town and looks about to see what he will do with Sammy. He returns home and says "Sammy, I see watch- making is a nice genteel business; I think I will make you a goldsmith." He does this, regardless of Sam's natural inclinations, or genius. We are all, no doubt, born for a wise purpose. There is as much diversity in our brains as in our countenances. Some are born natural mechanics, while some have great...

The Entrepreneurial Vocation
2007-10-06 16:56:00 by Robert A. Sirico I got this for free from The Acton Institute. It is a response to both Liberation Theology, and the Health and Wealth Gospel (or Dominion Theology)… It is very short, but it does include insightful commentary on Matthew 25’s parable of the talents.

How Many Photographers Does It Take?
2007-06-30 15:01:00 Every Photographer should know this one. I believe the joke goes something like this; "So... how many Photographers does it take to screw in a light bulb?" I know you are all holding your breath waiting for the answer. OK, isn't it obvious .......... the answer is..... one, that's right, just one........ and 40 other Photographers to stand behind that guy and say...... "I coulda done that!". Well, that joke has been around for quite a while and I'm sure that it wasn't created just for Photographers. I am certain that it applies to painters, sculptors, designers, software engineers and just about anyone who sees themselves as an artist of some kind. It's a common feeling to look at someone else's work ( art, design, photographs etc...) and imagine how you might have done it better. The envy you feel when confronted with another artist's exceptional talent and creativity is a powerful motivator; time to step up your game and show the world what you are capable of ! Ther...

Listening to "Way" Closing; Hearing the Call of Vocation
2007-06-28 09:10:00 Two days ago I quit my freelance writing assignment. Because I had to sign a non-disclosure statement, I can't tell you what it was. What I can say is this. I'm 57 years old. I've been a professional writer for the last 20 years. I finally realized that I will never be happy if I have to take orders from people who have less experience and expertise than me.When I was 27 years old, I was the arts and antiques editor for Architectural Digest magazine. I've written four books (Bipolar Depression Unplugged: A Survivor Speaks Out will be published soon. I'll let you know all about it). I've had magazine articles published in national magazines.I've also been the Director of Corporation and Foundation Relations for a selective liberal arts college. I've worked for KNBC news, KCET (the local PBS station), UCLA Extension, and I've had a few other jobs and careers as well.Although I've had a number of terrific jobs, I ended up feeling empty with every one--except for wri...
Parker Palmer Revisited
2007-06-28 06:30:00 First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who's been leaving comments lately. Although I try to respond to every comment, I've been swamped. So, please know that I've read what you've written and I do appreciate it. But, this time, I just can't respond except to say thank-you.For those of you who have been reading my blog for awhile, you'll remember that last month I had a series on work. One of my favorite new authors is Parker J. Palmer, author of Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation.Since I'm still new to blogging, I'm not sure if it's better to link you to my other post or to reprint it here. But since my story only makes sense if you know about Parker J. Palmer's story, I'm reprinting it now. Tomorrow's post will be my letter to Parker Palmer explaining what I learned from his experience.* * *By the time Palmer was 35 years old, he'd changed careers a few times (He dropped out of seminary school to get a Ph.D. in sociology, left academia ...
Quaker Advice (Part 1)
2007-05-27 18:30:00 One of my new favorite authors is Parker J. Palmer, a writer, teacher, and activist, whom I've written about in an earlier post. The only book of his I've read (and reread) thus far is Let Your Life Speak, Listening for the Voice of Vocation (but I've ordered a few more books and will keep you updated).By the time Palmer was 35 years old, he'd changed careers a few times (He dropped out of seminary school to get a Ph.D. in sociology, left academia to become a community organizer, and returned to academia to teach students how to get involved in community organizing) but he still was floundering, which was why he was taking a sabbatical at Pendle Hill, a Quaker community.He writes: "But when I arrived and started sharing my vocational quandary, people responded with a traditional Quaker counsel that, despite their good intentions, left me more discouraged. "Have faith," they said, "and way will open."Palmer felt he did have faith, but that he was approaching middle age and was ...
Apprehension and vocational ambiguities
2007-04-28 05:51:00 Determining my desired vocational course is rather daunting. The ensuing anxiety is surpassed only by the gravity of pledging myself in marriage. I fear becoming locked into a career which I loathe and provides little money to boot. There?s a lot of pressure which accompanies growing older, graduating college, and determining a subsequent course of action. Up this point, my biggest decisions have been selecting a college to attend and to love a particular woman to whom I have since proposed. Both are certainly major and established certain parameters which may restrict later decision, but I had a higher degree of confidence that those were the decisions I wanted to make. I don?t have the same certainty when it comes to my vocation.My unconscious method to forestall this decision has been to continue my education. After college I considered taking a year away from academics, the constant obligation and responsibility to read and write out of compulsion had long begun to drain me. How...
Disclosing Your Illness or Not?
2007-04-27 03:39:00 In the Bipolar Disorder Daily News Blog from September 16, 2006, the writer quotes David J. Miklowitz, a professor of psychology at the University of Colorado at Boulder and author of The Bipolar Survival Guide: What You and Your Family Need to Know. When asked whether bipolar workers should disclose their illness or not, Mikowitz talks about the stigma and says bipolar workers usually adopt one of four strategies. -"Tell everyone about the condition, including the boss and co-workers.-Tell one or more trusted co-workers who don't hold positions of authority.-Don't tell anyone, but admit to having a bipolar disorder on any work-sponsored health insurance claims, opening the possibility that the employer may find out.-Don't tell anyone at work, and don't use your employer-provided health insurance to cover treatment costs."I'd be interested in knowing other people's point of view. Since my illness wasn't diagnosed until so late in my career, my experience may be quite diff...
The Voice of Vocation
2007-04-25 15:40:00 While this post isn't about the special challenges that bipolar people experience at work, I must share a wonderful book that I bought when I was feeling depressed and I was concerned about whether I was pursuing the right path. It's called Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation, and was written by Parker J. Palmer, a senior associate of the American Association for Higher Education and senior adviser to the Fetzer Institute, a nonprofit organization with the mission of fostering love and forgiveness in the emerging global community.Perhaps the best description of the book comes from the copy on the inside flap. "'Is the life I am living the same as the life that wants to live in me?" With this searching question, Parker Palmer begins an insightful and moving meditation on finding one's true calling. Let Your Life Speak is an openhearted gift to anyone who seeks to live authentically."The book's title is a time-honored Quaker admonition, usually taken to me...

Poet Nikki Giovanni at Virginia Tech Convocation
2007-04-18 22:08:00 I've long been a fan of poet and Virginia Tech (VT) professor Nikki Giovanni. She's on my mind today because of her healing words and the ovations she received at the VT convocation, a service held yesterday in memory of Monday's mass shooting by a disturbed young man named "Cho." Thing is, I well know how Nikki Giovanni can move an audience... Because as a child, I was absolutely intrigued -- transported, even -- by her famously vivid and empowering poem, Ego Trippin'.Compellingly delivered atop a music bed of some of the hardest African drumming you've ever heard, Ego Trippin' played in heavy rotation on the radio station I grew up listening to in St. Louis. Whenever Nikki's poem-song began wafting from my radio, I'd turn it up loud to hear her emphatically say:I was born in the CongoI walked to the fertile crescent and builtthe sphinxI designed a pyramid so tough that a starthat only glows every one hundred years fallsinto the center giving divine perfect lightI am bad......

The bear?s growling is down to both provocation and posturing
2007-03-08 23:47:02 News that the Russian security council is working on a revised version of the country’s military doctrine seems to confirm long-held Western suspicions that Putin’s chauvinistic regime, flush with petrodollars, is going to turn Russia into a military superpower again and challenge the US globally. A new Cold War is nigh. Or is it? A sober look at the development of Russian strategic thinking in the post-Soviet period may lead to a different conclusion.

The vocation of people with severe disabilities
2006-12-06 10:14:01 Last night Kim Fabricius went to hear a lecture by the excellent scholar Frances Young. Professor Young has a severely disabled son, and her lecture was on ?The Vocation of People with Severe Learning Disabilities.? Kim gave a response afterwards, which he has posted here ? he says:Against conventional theodicies, and above all against a culture that has lost its way ? where its answer to the question, ?What are people for?? is, ?For autonomy and control, for health and beauty, for performance and productivity? ? Professor Young has lodged a considerable critique. Human beings, she says, are made for friendship, and human communities are made for hospitality. And it would seem to be the vocation of so-called disabled people to take this gospel to so-called independent, fit, and achieving folk.It is not, observe, a question of the abled bringing help to the disabled ? just the reverse: the disabled are the ones who bring help to the abled by showing that we are all, one way or anothe...
