Hello from Berlin…so even though I did onlly et about 3 1/2 hours of sleep last night I am happy to be here again today!
We had a great morning devotion from one of our Russian friends Rev. Pavel. We as plenary session have all had the experience of having to have things translated for us. I think that this is great for US folks that are used to conversations being predominantly held in English.
We are starting legislation today. Thank goodness we are only going to be dealing with legislation that has already been written. Our poor translators would definitely have not gotten ANY sleep at all if we had opened the floor to new legislation.
So tonight is the Ministry Fair. It will be great to get to see how others around the world are doing ministry and hopefully be able to bring some new and fresh ideas back to the States!!!
Anyways…I am excited to read facebooks posts about legislation breakout sessions that people are feeling encouraged and respected. Hopefully this spirit of togetherness will continue throughout the rest of Convo. I am hopeful for fruitful conversations and a community of trust.
Pictures from communion and worship this morning will be posted soon!
Much.Love.
