And then there was none.
The last day of General Convention was a blur--as it always is. Perhaps the resolution with the biggest impact is to reduce the giving from dioceses to the Episcopal Church gradually to 15% by 2019. There is consequence to the dioceses who do not give at that level that year.
Michael Curry preached a stirring sermon on the last day. He will be a dynamic Presiding Bishop. The installation for him is November 1 at the National Cathedral.
I got home from Salt Lake very tired but glad to have been part of history in electing Michael Curry and also renewed from seeing the wideness of the Church.
The legislation from General Convention doesn't take effect until Advent I of this year so there is some time to sort out what happened.
I am grateful to our deputation who took their job seriously and engaged the issues fully.
I am also looking forward to being home for awhile and not being in meetings that last from dawn to night.
I am glad to have gone but more glad to be home. This was a good convention. Be proud of your Church.
