Thursday

I began the day with my customary weight and treadmill workout, which meant that I wasn’t in at the office-cathedral complex until a little past 9:00.
Morning Prayer in the cathedral.
Refined and printed a working script for this Sunday’s homily at St Barnabas’, Havana.
Printed, signed, scanned, and emailed some documents related to the Putnam Trust.
Sent an email in connection with the “elections and appointments” effort, part of the overall run-up to Synod in October.
Lunch at home–leftover beef stir-fry.
Worked on arranging lodging in London for a brief (less than a week) trip I will be joining in August.
Prepared and emailed a draft agenda for a meeting of the Nashotah House Trustees Executive Committee I will be chairing by conference call tomorrow afternoon.
Sent another “elections and appointments” recruiting email.
Drafted a report to the full board of The Living Church Foundation on behalf of a small subcommittee to which I was appointed in April.
Printed, signed, scanned, and emailed consent forms for the Diocese of Massachusetts to elect a Bishop Coadjutor and the Diocese of Maryland to elect a Bishop Suffragan.
Wrestled some more with the readings for Proper 14 (August 11 at St John the Baptist, Mt Carmel) and emerged with a central message statement, which was the object of the exercise.
Evening Prayer in the cathedral.
After dinner, I spent about an hour and a half plotting sermon preparation for the fall–September through November.
