Bending the speed of life – The Boston Globe
Published by johnpmcginty
A native of the North Shore of Boston, I currently live in Worcester County, Massachusetts. I worked at Boston College as the Acting Director of The Church in the 21st Century Center until August, 2010 and served until November 2016 as Canon for Formation, and Dean of the George Mercer Jr. School of Theology of the Diocese of Long Island. I was happy to serve as Rector at the Church of Saint Anselm of Canterbury in Shoreham, New York from late 2016 to early 2020. I began service as Rector of The Church of Saint Matthew in the city of Worcester on the first day of the fateful month of 2020. View all posts by johnpmcginty

Believe it. 
My favorite gift from this Christmas was a Sony ‘photoplayer’ into which my son and daughter-in-law had scanned pictures from a family album that goes back to my grandparents wedding photo from 1899. It is possible to focus on a picture of a person in one decade and it will identify it from its memory of that face in another decade. So we don’t change much, apparently, under the wrinkles and hair color.
