Today (Thursday) was mostly a legislative committee day. The Alcohol Committee worked on several resolutions---insuring that discernment process inquire about addiction issues and forming a task force to revise and update the policies around alcohol and the Church. More hearings tomorrow.
Each day starts with Eucharist. Bishop Katharine gave a stirring sermon about building a road so that all God's children might find their way. It's a wonder to worship with over 1500 people.
Another highlight was to have the youth presence with us--especially since one of them is from WNC--High Garst ( He's the tall one on the right edge of the white middle sign).
I was asked to be part of the media team and was interviewed at the end of the day. You can see this on the General Convention website under Media--although because it was the first day, there wasn't a lot to talk about.
Tomorrow we will move into more action on legislation. We have a joint meeting of the House of Deputies and House of Bishops to talk about structure.
