WORSHIP SCHEDULE
RECTOR’S REFLECTIONS
An Update from Stan at General Convention
The Rhythm of Convention
Others have said it, but there is a rhythm to our work at General
Convention. Pray, Committee Meetings, Holy Eucharist, Legislative
session, Repeat. There seems to be more work to be done than we
can possibly do, and yet, the work that needs to be done seems to
be getting done.
Today, in the midst of the legislative session, one of the deputies
arose with a point of personal privilege to ask for the Chaplain of
the House of Deputies to lead us in an impromptu prayer – not on
the schedule of our legislative calendar at that time – to ask for God
to bring us back to our center, so to speak, to adjust our attitudes
to be in tune with the Spirit. After a short break, the Chaplain did
just that, prayed with and for us to be guided by the Spirit that
brings all things together in God’s mission for the world.
And what had begun as a fairly unfruitful legislative session, quickly
turned into one of the most productive two hours of our entire time
here in Salt Lake City.
It was a beautiful demonstration of the broken simplicity of simply
asking God to bring us back to God’s purpose for us in the first
place. And, as we yielded to the movement of the Spirit, God did
indeed bring us together to get some work done in helping the
Episcopal Church be about the ministry God has called all of us to,
something Jesus called, The Kingdom of God.
Please continue to pray with and for us, that we would be fruitful in
our broken simplicity as we yield to the Spirit’s leading.
