Now that the ordinations have taken place we are hopeful this will settle into a more regular rhythm.</p><p><br></p><p>This past weekend (May 14-16, 2021) eight individuals stepped forward to be consecrated into the priesthood. It was a powerful, spiritually potent and beautiful event, blessed by some of the most glorious Ascension-in-nature experiences.</p><p><br></p><p>During that weekend Jonah and I took the opportunity to sit down with fellow priest, Julia Polter, and have a conversation.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Jonah asked Julia about how she experiences her priesthood in the hospital rooms where she has been serving as a chaplain this past year and this opened up essential new elements in our exploration of the question: <strong>What is a priest?</strong></p><p><br></p><p>We hope you enjoy this conversation and are not distracted by the background sounds! Far away from our ‘studio’ in Toronto and in the middle of a large community event, this was the best we could do.</p><p><br></p><p>Julia will be moving to the Pacific Northwest to the city of Bellingham, WA, which is located 50 miles from Vancouver, &nbsp;Canada.</p><p><br></p><p>Her new work includes supporting The Christian Community in the Vancouver/Seattle area while leading a Clinical Pastoral Education Center at Peace Health, a 300-bed city hospital in Bellingham. She will design and direct a &nbsp;program there to educate divinity school students and seminarians in spiritual care.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Our</strong> <strong>thanks</strong> to Elliott Chamberlin who composed the opening music, \"On the Road\" and the closing music, \"Seeking Together\". &nbsp;You can find more of his music <a href=\"https://www.elliottchamberlinmusic.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>.</p><p><br></p>","author_name":"The Light in Every Thing"}
