A little less hectic today. I actually had 3 hours for dinner. I may get spoiled.
A lot of business got done in the House of Deputies. Nothing that will make the news, I expect, but meaningful nonetheless.
One of the main priorities for this convention is helping to alleviate extreme poverty hear and abroad. My sub-committee has looked at several resolutions that not only urge us to be more responsive to the needs of the poor, but allocating substantial funds to these efforts.
It is these kinds of things that are funded by that portion of our pledges that go to the church Center. I always knew that, but working with the budget requests of so many worthwhile ministries has give me a new2 perspective on the workings of the Episcopal Church at a national and international level.
Convention doesn't stop for the weekend, so it's another early day tomorrow.
