Consortium as Ministry Friends: As I reflect on my 13 year term, I see that I have been of service in people's discernment. Occasionally members of Consortium faculties, administrations, or Consortium students have shared with me more deeply about their spiritual journey. I always try to listen intently. I sometimes offer a comment or an observation which I hope will be beneficial. The depth of sharing and the personal commitment to the gospel have left a lasting impression on me. Peace, John
