I might have to change the name of my blog to Chaplain Pete’s or Spiritual Director Pete’s blog, since on Tuesday Aug 5 I start a new job at an addiction treatment center on Vancouver Island as part of the Chaplain/spiritual director’s team. I am very happy and privileged to have been invited to join that team. Not only that, but excited at the opportunity to learn and to minister so directly. It definitely feels like a God directed destiny destination after a necessary wilderness time.
I am reluctant to name the actual organization on my blog, because I’m not sure of some of their privacy and confidentiality guidelines, and primarily because I know my blog comes up high in the results if you search “Pastor Pete” and I don’t want my blog showing up when people search for the organization by name.
I have done my best to inform people directly about this development in my career/calling, but thought I’d quickly post here for anyone I missed who may be tracking things through the blog.
I have written more about this but need to edit it a bit before posting it here. Internet access is also an infrequent thing for me these days, until I get settled again.
