General Synod - Day 2 - Getting started

An interesting morning.

Prayer at 6am for Synod, with 5 guys, including the RCA's Minister of Prayer Jonathan Brownson.
Breakfast at 7
Synod at 8:15. About 2 hours of introductions, welcomes and orientation. Yikes, that's gotta change. Too much administration not needed. I didn't need the orientation, and I'm a first time delegate!
2 items of new business reported.
1 - commending a military chaplain for his service - he was promoted to Rear Admiral (Lower Half).
2 - a statement was presented to be read, but deferred to later in the proceedings, probably Monday. This is a statement on the homosexuality issue, and can be found here. There are over 800 names now!

Then Synod President Irving Rivera spoke. Quite good! I'll post the details of that later tonight. Lunch is now over and I'm almost late back.
