Seminary head in the news

Dunwoodie's new rector is busy and humble:

"It's very pleasant, very nice, but you have to remember why you're a bishop," he said. "You're a bishop of the people. You meet a lot more people. Being a bishop is being available to the people and teaching what the church teaches."

...He likes to talk sports, especially New York baseball. But he recently took a walk near Yankee Stadium and couldn't help wondering why New York City and New York state will contribute hundreds of millions of dollars to new stadiums for the Yankees and Mets instead of spending the money on affordable housing, soup kitchens, schools and public parks.
