21 April 2012

So, the six-year run on Executive Council ended last night for me. Technically, I am a member until the end of General Convention but, barring some wildly unforeseen event, my last meeting ended last night.

+ I have been so blessed to work with such an incredibly talented, wise and intelligent group of people. I know people out in Episco-land grouse and gripe about what we have done and, like General Convention, if you have been part of EC, you know there is more than what gets reported out. Perhaps the biggest missing piece is the work that goes on in the standing committees — like the legislative committees of General Convention. The plenary is far more interesting, it would seem but, really, the committee time is where it all happens.

+ Regardless, I am going to miss terribly this group of people. Prayers to the class of 2015, may you carry on wrestling with all the challenges that lie ahead, known and unknown.

+ As for me? I told the Presiding Bishop and President of the House of Deputies, 'OK, I am going to have all this time on my hands... use me, I am willing to serve.' We'll see what happens.

+ Now, off to the airport to fly back east to Vermont.

+ [The Presiding Bishop yesterday at Executive Council's last Holy Eucharist of the triennium.]

+ Blogger, what did you do? Where are my paragraph breaks?????
