I am now happy that our hotel is a distance from the Convention Center because since we sit all day, without the walking I'd be totally stiff. Sitting in a chair all day is not good for anyone over sixty.
At the beginning of Convention we spend a lot of time in our Committees working on resolutions and having hearings where any deputy or bishop can speak. I am on the Alcohol committee. We have been updating the policies around alcohol at church events as well as insuring that aspirants for ordination--deacon, priest, bishop--are asked about addiction issues. We have a great group of people but it's hard for twenty five people to compose a masterpiece.
Wednesday we heard from the four candidates for Presiding Bishop. They were all impressive. I was in awe of their ability to answer questions in front of 1,000 people for three hours. The vote is Saturday.
I am grateful for the collegiality of our deputation. We gathered at the end of the day to share notes.
Keep us in your prayers. Believe it or not, today is Day One on the official calendar (it's a very slow moving process).
