Day 3 - GC

Not a lot to report.  It's rather late.

As is the norm, opened with worship this morning followed by a multitude of reports.

The biggy of course was rule 44.  This was the third day that it had been addressed in some way or another.  After hours of discussion (too much to explain) it finally came down to a vote.  It was defeated 477- 355.  It would have taken a 2/3 vote to approve it.  So.......we move forward.

The rest of the day was filled with the business being addressed in the various legislative committees.  This will be the case the rest of the week.  I am sitting in on the Discipleship committee.  No matter the approvals or rejections in the legislative committees, the final say takes place on the plenary floor.  So if you hear things being approved not approved, they are only the result of the committee's vote.  So stay tuned for the outcome next week.

I continue to run into old friends from across the connection.  That has been a blessing and is part of the positive aspects of being a Connectional system.

Calling it a day.  Keep praying.
