My original plan was not to continue writing this blog after my moderatorial year. As you can see, plans change.
I now plan to continue blogging here for the coming year as I serve as the Moderator of the Synod Council, but it will differ in focus and timing.
At the December Council meeting, as we were debriefing from the Synod Assembly Meeting, it became clear that the Synod leadership needs to stay in communication with the rest of the Synod and it was suggested that one way to do that is for me to continue to write this blog. So I will continue to post here on a regular, but not weekly, basis to help get information out about the Synod.
In addition to this not being a weekly blog it will also not be a “warm and fuzzy” blog. That is not to say that it will be cold and harsh, but only that I do intend to discuss some of the pressing issues facing the Synod. I have transitioned from the elected leader, spokesperson and public face to the president of the corporation and head of the trustees. With that transition comes a different focus.
In this new role I hope to really lay out some of the challanges and opportunities that are presented to us at this time.
However, don’t expect weekly posts with news, information and views. I will try to post those every two to three weeks. But what I would like to try to accomplish here for the rest of the year is a weekly listing of our churches to hold them up in prayer.
So thanks for reading and sticking with me. And next week we will contemplate the Synod Stimulus Package.
