Today started at 7am when I registered and looked for something to eat. My committee (Liturgy, Prayer and Music) met from 8am ’till noon. We planned our work through Saturday. We have several interesting issues, the most controversial will be the blessings/marriages of same sex couples.
Resolutions come in from around the church and are sent to committees. Before we can discuss any resolution, we need to have public hearings. After lots of various opening presentations and orientations, we held our first committee hearings from 7-9pm. These were on resolutions relating to adding folks to the church calendar. We are considering an huge change away from Lesser Feasts and Fasts to a new collection of “saints” called Holy Women, Holy Men that includes lots of new, and a wide variety of, folks.
After work was over at 9pm, I found the Idaho deputation and visited with them for a while.
