Anyone from Barnard College @ 1932 ? Remember ‘the Jungle “? What happened to a Cage of Budgerigars in an office, near 123rd St., near Millbank Hall ? Does anyone sleep outside the enormous Doors of Cathedral….Divine, now ? Where’s the Rose Garden ? The day that Deacon[ess] I. Carter Heyward challenged Bishop Paul Moore to ordain a certain bunch of them to the priesthood, I remember. [vs. ‘priesthood of all believers”]. n.b. that memorial statue. How goes that soup kitchen; &, the shelter for guys ?
