What a privilege it is to be part of this delegation from our diocese. I cast my first electronic vote today in the House of Deputies. We are using a "virtual binder" which means an iPad. This makes finding resolutions, amendments, reports and on and on a hundred times easier than in the past where there was a gigantic binder full of paper. I was expecting there to be lots of problems because many of the 840 deputies had never used an iPad. It has been very, very smooth!
But most important for me to express is the joy and deeper appreciation I have for our Episcopal Church. Worshiping today with thousands from not only all over the U. S. but the world. Saying the familiar prayers and singing together in one huge congregation gave me chills. It was a joyful experience.
These are long days and we are already tired but I wouldn't exchange this time of work and fellowship for anything. Thanks be to God.
