- Morning Prayer in the cathedral.
- Usual week-beginning informal debrief with the Archdeacon.
- Refined and printing the working text of my homily for this Sunday (All Saints, Morton).
- Handled a stack of relatively minor administrative issues. These things always end up more time-consuming than I anticipate.
- Took a phone call from one of our clergy.
- Lunch at home. Leftovers.
- Attended (by way of preparation) to a quite serious administrative/pastoral matter.
- Laid out the broad strokes of my address to next month’s annual diocesan synod.
- Attended to some administrative details pertaining to getting ready for synod.
- Reviewed the second quarter financial reports from the mission congregations.
- Began the process of building by 2016 visitation calendar, which will be a challenge in view of the sabbatical I am planning.
- Swung by home to retrieve Brenda, and headed on down to St Thomas’, Glen Carbon, where I took part in the Mass and potluck commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of Fr Tony Clavier’s ordination to the priesthood.
