General Assembly Day One

I'm at the Disciples of Christ General Assembly in Indianapolis. Drove down this morning, heard our General Minister and President Sharon Watkins give a sense of the church, and will worship tonight with Cynthia Hale as preacher. General Assemblies are generally an enjoyable time for me. I get to see old friends, make some new ones, worship, fellowship, learn -- and do some voting. Voting has its place, but its not the primary reason we're here. We could do that by phone or computer. What's important is connecting with one another, reaffirming ties that bind, while recognizing that we're simply part of the broader church of Jesus Christ, which forms a part of the whole human community.
I'm not sure to the extent that I'll be posting, but I'll try to keep things updated as best I can. If you're reading this and at the GA -- I hope I run into you.
Blessings from Indianapolis!
