Currently, I'm unemployed but studying Religion at University.

I would love to found a monastery in the city and live in that community, leading it into the city to clean things up and actively pursue social justice issues. I would spend my leisure time reading and writing books.

Good luck with your studies Skippy. Hope you're able to have the impact you envision and then some.

You wouldn't happen to be involved in the New Monastic movement would you?

I've got the book and am reading it now; I've also been around the War College and talked to the guy in charge there. I'm fascinated by the idea, and being part of the Salvation Army has surrounded me with like-minded people.

Cool, I first heard about it in bible college when I read Jesus for President: Politics for Ordinary Radicals. Best of luck to you!
