I also went and found where our deputation will be sitting. We are in the front row, stage left. I suspect that the powers that be want to keep a close eye on us, or Polly Getz got us the good seats. It was hard to get a picture, because even in the front row the dias was so far away the flash didn't have enough power.
Here's our coner of the room:
I ran into our Presiding Bishop and Mrs. Griswold this morning too. I encouraged them both to stop by the EGR Booth to see the pictures from the Hardison's work in Kenya. I got to say hi to Bishop Gibbs of Detroit, a classmate of mine and ran into lots of old friends from around the country.
So far the major consensus reached is: The exhibition hall has some nifty stuff.
Committe work starts in earnest tomorrow, tonight people will be reading the 4 incg binder of material we received today.
I had a lovely day today helping Episcopalians for Global Reconciliation finish setting up their booth. This was a tech day spent finding how to get pictures and sound from computers to TV screens and DVD players. Imagine every possible sort of cable tossed on the floor with all the stuff one needs to set up a homey booth.
Here is a look at the booth:
Things are moving right along towards General Convention. I am busy reading and re-reading parts of the Blue Book and looking forward to getting to Columbus and figuring out how things work.
Since I am not on a committee, I will be able to free lance at hearings which draw my interest and report back to the deputation.
Welcome to my General Convention blog.
