While officially retired, James remains an affiliated minister with the Neighborhood Unitarian Universalist Church in Pasadena, and a member of the teaching circle at the Empty Moon Zen Network.
He preaches at UU churches in Southern California, and participates in and occasionally co-leads Zen retreats.
Today James mainly supports his spouse Jan as live in caregivers for Jan's 98 year old mother.
Beyond that and working with a few old students and friends on koans, he is mostly focused on writing.
His time available for projects beyond these is limited.
Still, he does wonder what he will do when he grows up. So. If you think you know, please contact him directly to discuss the nature of that project or event.
