Thursday Blog 2 ELCA Assembly

The Quasi Committee of the Whole concluded. It started with a very good observation from last night. After the Social Statement passed, there was a loud and sustained applause. In the context of the Assembly and the request to refrain from such responses, the response was inappropriate. I thought about that last night and felt a bit odd that it happened - even though I did stand up from back in the peanut gallery. Today's conversations had a tone of civility that popped up here and there. It was good to see and hear. As for right now, we are about to go into worship - such a wonderful highlight of these Assemblies. Later today the Assembly will vote on some of the "implementing resolutions' that now come into play since the Social Statement on Human Sexuality passed yesterday.
Christ's Peace!
