Sunday, January 25 will be my last Sunday at St. Peter's, Waskaganish as the resident rector. For three months(Feb - April) I will be on sabbatical, living in the residence at Wycliffe College, Toronto. Then at the beginning of May shall be starting out as the rector(half time) of St. Barnabas, Waswanipi. I will also be continuing as the half time Mahmow Program coordinator for the Diocese of Moosonee.
I have felt myself to have been "burned out" over the course of the last few years, and feel that much of what I have been attempting in Christian ministry in the last while has not been effective or fruitful. The Mahmow Program needs a radical overhaul and development. Hopefully the sabbatical time will help in these areas.
The sabbatical I have in part also timed so that I am out of the way for the James Bay Great Chapter 2009. I was Regional Dean of James Bay for 10 or 11 years, and in that capacity led every James Bay Great Chapter during that period. Hence my being out of the way for the 2009 Great Chapter allows the new Regional Dean to become better established in that position.
