Regional Gathering Update

I’m back from the BRTFSSG Regional Gathering. That’s “Blue Ribbon Task Force on Synod Structure and Governance.” As you no doubt figured out, live blogging wasn’t an option. They didn’t provide power in the Hall and I had trouble trying to connect to the ‘net. Sigh.

So I took copious notes and asked a number of questions and am working on a thorough post now. Be looking for it tomorrow or Monday.

My initial thoughts, though, are pretty positive. Many of the seriously bad ideas are no longer on the table and what is left is mostly pretty decent, as far as it goes. I was impressed with the presentation and the Task Force definitely did a great job in remaining positive, neither getting defensive nor growing impatient with any of the questions and showing understanding with many of the difficult questions and issues.

Details to come!
