Friday

Struggled again with planning software. Maybe on a glide path to a solution. Trying it out.
Substantive scheduled phone conversation with the Dean of Nashotah House.
Reviewed and commented on bulletin drafts for my visitation to Alton Parish this weekend.
Arranged for an onsite visit to the workplace (a faith-based nonprofit) at which one of our diaconal postulants is the Executive Director.
Refined, edited, and printed my homily for July 2, which will be delivered, God willing, in St Stephen’s Cathedral, Tabora, Tanzania, on the occasion of the Diocese of Tabora’s triennial synod.
Lunch at home. Leftovers.
Caught up on my diary blogging from yesterday.
Dealt with some more Nashotah-related business.
Got started on developing the rough sketch of my next post on the Covenant blog.
Made air travel arrangements to attend the September meeting of the House of Bishops in Fairbanks, Alaska. The American Airlines website was uncooperative, so I have to do this by phone. Not as easy as it used to be.
As a Friday prayer practice, spent some time with the Hymnal 194o at the bench of the cathedral organ. Quite a spiritually rich time, actually.
Evening Prayer in the cathedral.
Dispensed with a slew of late-arriving emails.
Returned a phone call from a priest outside the diocese who is seeking some pastoral care.
