I thought you might like to know what the official plan is for the rest of the day.
Later this afternoon we have a presentation from the Zaccheus Fellowship which I hope to be able to vodcast. This evening starting at 7pm there is some Synod business, nothing too scary according to the agenda. Really just presentations and the nominees for Deputy Prolocutor.
I may go over to check that nothing else is brought up during that time.
What about the other important resolutions (e.g., revision of “Common Worship Texts”)? When will those issues be discussed and voted on?
What exactly is a “Prolocutor”?
Re: #1, those are scheduled for tomorrow, but I’m trying to track down the agenda chair to confirm the time
Re: #2, sort of the 2nd in command
