Welcome!

If you're interested in the Presbyterian Church (USA), well, that's the main topic of this blog. I report in here to give you my impressions, share the highlights or lowlights of my day, and lament or celebrate as appropriate. I hope you'll enjoy it, and chime in!

Thursday morning is slow so far....

It's Thursday morning, and the Assembly has been a bit stalled by technical difficulties. They have gotten through the majority of the report from the General Assembly Nominating Committee, but the voting mechanism has gotten messed up somehow.

While they were waiting to fix it, they took a brief stretch break, sang a hymn that no one knew, and then were led in a TERRIFIC energizer by the Young Adult Advisory Delegates -- if you know Energizers, it was "Istanbul, Constantinople!" It was WAY hilarious to see all the commissioners walking like Egyptians.

At this moment, we still wait. Tom Hay has just explained that we are waiting because the next vote, which is on the Middle Governing Body report, is expected to be close (no kidding!). They would REALLY prefer not to have to do a paper ballot on that report, but they are prepared to do so if necessary. So the side conversations continue and the wait goes on.

Personally, I vote for more energizers!!
