Two sides of a Story

It's really fascinating to be in the same city as the Synod (the area under a bishop) offices, because it seems that I see the staff from there quite often. Today was just that way, folks who came out for a Eucharist and Healing liturgy at lunch time had the opportunity to hear our Bishop preach, which is always really a positive experience. It was fascinating to hear about the whole assignment process from a leader's perspective, especially since good friends of mine are going through the process right now. The whole experience of guessing where you'll end up and then coming to terms with the placement, the potential congregation and community are all fraught with nervousness and wonder. It will be exciting to see folks who do end up in New England at assemblies and the like. The Spirit moves in astounding ways and I'm always amazed at how things come together.
