Having spent most of yesterday in airplanes and airports (along with Larry Ruby) we arrived in San Jose about 8:30 last night (11:30 at home) and were greeted by wonderful hosts at the baggage claim area. They welcomed us at a special GA218 desk and organized our baggage by assigned hotel - quickly there were arrivals from many locations and we were bused to our hotels, where again we were welcomed at a GA218 desk sharing detailed logistical information. With no difficulty waking early by CA time this morning I reflect on the work of the many volunteers from congregations in the Synod here who aresmoothing the way for us. Iam reminded the promise we all have that the path will be made straight and pray that inthe substantive work of this GA that all will be open to the Spirit to sek and see the straight path of God's will for PCUSA.
Today will be busy. In addition to further review of materials for consideration (I still had to bring two very large binders of overtures, advocacy material and support information with me despite review and winnowing received stuff for the past month) I have a moderator/vice modeator update and training session, an all commissioner session on antiracism, a meeting with the leadership team of the Mission Coordination and Budget Committee which I will moderate and a hoped for opportunity to meet the candidates for GA Moderator.
Blessings and Peace, Kears
