Present at the creation.

You're reading the inaugural post of The City and the World, a new blog sharing some of my experiences and reflections as a Jesuit scholastic studying philosophy at Fordham University in New York City. If you're reading this, there's a good chance that you've already read my old blog, Novitiate Notes, covering most of my two years as a Jesuit novice. In a sense, The City and the World continues the story begun in Novitiate Notes, offering a window into my continuing formation as a Jesuit. My hopes for this new blog are the same hopes I had for my old blog. I began The City and the World as a means of keeping my family and friends up to date on what I'm doing and to offer other interested individuals a sense of what (one) Jesuit life is like. To all my readers, old and new, friends and strangers alike, I extend a very warm welcome. AMDG.
