Convention begins!

with much less of a bang than 2005!

There are/were no:
people wearing rainbow sashes.
people lining up as you walk into session with signs and posters.
procedural maneuvering to get the rules changed to be more favorable to get certain items passed. That was endless last time and made for a very late first night.

goodsoil and Lutherans Concerned are here; I've seen the signs to their meeting rooms, but they are maintaining a very low profile so far.

The most important business we will be conducting tomorrow is the election of the bishop and addressing the new Lutherans Read the Bible initiative. Chances are good that Bishop Hanson will get reelected on the first ballot, but we will see.

Oh, and guess what was on our tables as gifts tonight? Our own ELW's!

Glad you are there on behalf of orthodox Lutherans and fellow FReepers...just sorry you have to endure some of the syncretistic prayers I've seen posted on Lutherlink. If you get a chance to access LL's "2007 CWA" be sure to read the comments (around notes 35-65) from my good friend Greg Harbaugh.
