Next to Last Rites a (sometimes impious) Spirituality of Waiting ad Interim (aka: retirement)

How many foreskins did Jesus actually have? And what happened to it on Easter and Ascension? Such questions find expression in this sometimes confessional, sometimes hilarious, always kind of interesting spiritual memoir. After 61 years as a believer and 42 years of pastoral ministry, Tom heard a third call: into retirement-which would take him to his Final Call. He embarked on a Lent-like journey of vocational morificationcaion: familiar places for new places; spiritual family for his actual family; established routines in favor of a soul-syllabus drawn from St. Paul's very first letter to a church. The Apostle's first counsel became final instructions for a man in his next-to-last appointment. These are some of the rites of that passage.
