7.11.09
So for the morning legislative session we elected the Vice President for the next three years who is the same vice president now (and same with the President, although we did not do that today we did that a day or so ago) and passed other resolutions that will be in the big report that will be printed sometime in January once completed. Then was Eucharist, then Samantha and i worked out during lunch (and made a quick sandwich). Then we had Public Narrative from 2-3:30pm and after, one of the priests in the group came up to me and said that he thought a may be interested/good for the job of being on the National Standing Committee on Evangelism. And I thought it was really nice of him to think of me and I will think about it.

Then there was another legislative session from 4-6 where we heard from representatives/the equivalents to what our HOD president or PB is. New Zealand, Ghana, Canada, Brazil, Kenya and South Africa were represented, and showed great love and support for all we are doing. The New Zealand representative told us that there were many unchecked horrible rumors flying around the Communion for some time but after actually talking with and finding out the truth they were very much in support of us.

We did the 1st Ballots for Trial of Bishops and 2nd Ballot for Church Pension Fund trustees.

After that I went to the Nashotah House reception. I had a wonderful conversation with two people who were more conservative about the issues facing us at this Convention but I told them how appreciative that I was that they were there as well as for our conversation.

Then some of us went to downtown disney to the jazz kitchen and had a lovely social time.

This morning Samantha and I woke up and went to the Women's Caucus breakfast, which was exciting...they talked about the issues they once faced and the issues that we are now facing and how there are many parallels. Now its time for the UTO ingathering/Eucharist and then free time till 3pm (pool time!!!)
