Friday
by Bishop Daniel
on December 9, 2016
- Late start to the morning owing to the late end to the prior evening. (There was a time in my life when I could just plow right through such things, but that time is evidently past.) I was in the office around 10:30.
- Attended via email to a fairly minor pastoral concern with one of our clergy.
- Did the same with a fairly minor administrative concern (noting, at the behest of the Treasurer, the odometer reading on the YFNBmobile, and adding up all the non-diocesan related miles I have driven during 2016. Got to keep the tax people happy.
- Reviewed and commented on the draft minutes of the last Diocesan Council meeting.
- Reviewed the draft minutes of the last board meeting of the Society of King Charles the Martyr.
- Responded to a couple of appeals for modest donations from the Bishop’s Discretionary Fund.
- Lunch from Rally’s, eaten at home.
- Back to the office in time to take part in a two-hour conference call meeting of a Nashotah House committee tasked with one element of preparing for our next accreditation review. This will be a monthly event for a while.
- Plotted master sermon plotting work for 2017 (not as big a job as it sounds).
- Responded via Facebook message to a fairly significant pastoral issue.
- Friday prayer: Ignatian meditation on the Lukan version of the Last Supper narrative.
- Evening Prayer in the cathedral.
