Bro. Dennis makes the Boston Globe

WCCA community producer and Teresian Carmelite monk Dennis Wyrzykowski was in the Boston Globe today:

Teresians v. American Tower
Monks: Company learned site could be used for wind energy, shifted on sale
[...]
The Teresians have sued Boston-based American Tower Corp., saying it reneged on its agreement to sell them a 99-acre site in central Massachusetts where they want to build a monastery and wind farm that would subsidize electricity for hundreds of low-income homes. The monks believe the company reversed its decision after realizing the property could be used for alternative energy.
[...]
On Nov. 22, according to Wyrzykowski, he received a call from American Tower vice president Ross W. Elder, who told him the company wanted to lease the land for 99 years rather than sell it due to its commercial potential.

That was unacceptable to the monks because ``monasteries are here for 1,000 years, not 100 years, so if I took that offer the future of my monastery would depend on leases and business people, " Wyrzykowski said.
