The Rev. Noah Van Niel Responds…
Our visiting clergy are asked to respond to a quick question every year. This summer the question is: “If you were not an Episcopal priest, What other profession/calling might you have pursued?”
Rev. Van Niel:
Great question…..I’ve always thought it sounds like just about the best thing you could ever imagine to be the restaurant critic for the New York Times–eating at all the best restaurants around on the company dime! The rendering of opinions would be secondary to that pure, gluttonous joy. And it would combine my love of writing with my love of food. So, in the imaginary world where I am not an Episcopal priest, I think that’s what I would want to be.
