Bogged down ...

Apparently our other folks here are having difficulty posting to this blog.  Mike Cole is posting under another blog and I will try to copy his posts here.  Here is the link in the meantime:  http://pncnotesonga.blogspot.com/?m=1

Yesterday was a LONG day for many of our commissioners - marriage and civil unions, health issues, Middle East - lots of work being done.  Some of what is being proposed is controversial and political, and many people on both sides are passionate, and also concerned about what their votes would mean for the future of the church.

This afternoon, I am sitting in with the committee that is looking at the confessions.  Motions, substitute motions, perfecting motions ... it seems that we get bogged down in the process.  There is concern for sending out something that has previously been defeated ... and so it goes ... on and on and on.

I am monitoring other committees on Twitter.  Use #ga220 to follow the action.  Many committees are being covered by people in the room, so it is being updated as actions are being taken.  People are tired ... people are anxious ... but people care deeply about the church.

More later ...
