I'm in New York City for a few days, interviewing seminarians for our summer North Country Rural Ministry Internship program.  It's amazingly warm here, both in terms of the weather, and in terms of the welcome I have received from the General Seminary Community.
     Last evening, I gave a presentation on the internship, and as a result, several students are interested in the program.  I will meet with more students at lunch, and then interview those who are interested this afternoon.
     The Internship is a great chance for those students interested in rural ministry and small parishes to gain hands-on experience.
