I have been watching the ELCA Churchwide Assembly proceedings via live feed at elca.org. Today a tornado touched down in the area of the convention center. As voting members were discussing an amendment to the sexuality social statement which would have strengthened and supported wording regarding marriage, family and children, an amendment which was defeated, unfortunately, the winds knocked the cross off the steeple of nearby Central Lutheran Church, a church which has been ardent in its support of changing ministry standards and would be the location of the Goodsoil event that evening. Apparently part of the roof of the convention center was damaged as well.
I am a right wing nut for seeing any correlation between these events.

I think we are all simultaneously chuckling at what we hope is a sense of divine humor; a nervous chuckle. I did not hear, however, if anyone was hurt, which of course would negate any humor in the situation.
Ah, it looks like you just posted some pictures and information. Thank God no one was hurt.
