We returned to our cage today and spent the day between four off white walls. The many chairs crowded the room with tables horseshoed in the front and rows and rows of resource persons and people advocating for each of their pet projects. Today we looked at the equitable treatment of women, the response to violence against women and girls, the various inequalities in the k-12public education system, and many more. Through a series of motions, amendments, and discernment we discovered our positions. Tomorrow, we rejoin the other 675 commissioners and the thousand plus observers to look at and vote on the motions made by each of the nineteen committees. This will be the next three days of our lives. Working, searching, praying for the things that will guide us or that we will guide in the next two years. We do have an exciting future ahead as a denomination. Tomorrow, I will get to see just how exciting it will be. Keep reading, keep listening and keep praying - I sure am.
With a smile,
Holly
