I was focused on Thursday to catch the New Covenant luncheon and some breakouts. Shoulda called Keith, but I think he was there for the Weds session. Thursday seems to be the biggest bang for the buck.
Plus I have a relative who monitors this board and texts me incessantly. Didn't want to say anything that would come to that persons attention to avoid the annoyance.
I really wanted to go for the fellowship. Contacted churches in Rome and our friend Lamar Wadsworth of Heritage in Cartersville.
Could be my last chance for a national convo, so there was that as well.
Would appear the GA CBF could arrange for at least one church van on the four corners of Atlanta 40 miles out for folks who don't want to mess with downtown Atlanta, even if they charged five dollars per transient.
But they cant cover everything, it appears.
Somebody has to do the thinking somewhere and lot of focus on Illumination this year.
Guess just have to go with the fond memories with good many of the rest of yall at the Fish place in Atlanta in 2006. I really did enjoy that gathering Even Flick.

Public transportation in Portland does not live up to it promotional material. I will say the Light rail is more reliable than the buses.
I have to get to bed, been up 23 hours , Well I did snooze off and on during the 4 hour 15 min flight from Atlanta. I will be up by seven, don't know if Trudy will make it before noon. But she is scheduled to usher tomorrow evening.

The big study group had more fuzzy speech than any similar group I've seen Ina long time. I would expect that the national organization would go the way of Gushee.
If any longer term result of the SBCCR was unforeseen it would be that the 40% or so minority would start so grand and decline as they have.

Changes include the elimination of two senior-level positions on the CBF Leadership Team: Coordinator of Organizational Relationships, Bo Prosser, and Associate Coordinator of Projects and Services, Ron Fairley. Prosser, who joined the CBF staff in 2002 as Coordinator for Congregational Life and shifted into the role of Coordinator of Organizational Relationships, will continue to serve in a part-time capacity as leader of CBF’s Ministerial Excellence Initiative and as a coach and consultant to CBF’s church renewal initiative called Dawnings.
