[Magdalen] AC of C General Synod

[Marion Thompson]

I haven't seen anything about live streaming, but will certainly let you 
know if it is happening.  All I know thus far is that my reading 
rehearsal at 11 a.m. was bumped to 5 p.m. so "Anglican Video" could 
occupy and set up in the ball room where everything is happening.  So 
maybe something will come out of that.  It has been a day of stand-about 
for me, because I couldn't check into my room until shortly ago and I 
had arrived very early to register and get settled in.

The theme is You are my Witnesses, Isaiah 43: 1-12 or so, and this even 
appears in the fortune cookie in the swag bag.  There will be Lectio 
Divina based on this recurring reading.

The ballroom is set up for tonight's opening Eucharist.  Seen in haste 
as Anglican Video shooed us out was a glistening white birch altar set 
on a big V, numerous pavement candles fashioned from birch trunks and in 
the foreground a clear basin set in a birch stand.

At the elevators I may have stood next to your Presiding Bishop, Michael 
Curry, talking with our Primate Fred Hiltz.  It's all very exciting 
seeing so many from here, there, and everywhere, notably our Indigenous 
members.  Sunday's Eucharist, indeed the whole day, will focus on them.

I am feeling a great weight of responsibility in my heart and I think 
this is going to be a very emotional time.

I'll do my best to keep you up to date.

Marion, a pilgrim
