Thursday

Packed for an overnight and read Morning Prayer at home.
Conferred with the Archdeacon on a pastoral situation.
Conferred with Fr Scanlon in his role as Rural Dean for the Northeastern Deanery.
Met for 15 minutes with the Standing Committee just to touch base on three separate emerging concerns.
Got in the YFNBmobile and pointed it north toward Nashotah House, five hours away in southeastern Wisconsin. While en route, had a long and substantive phone conversation with a priest in another diocese who was wanting some pastoral guidance, and then with two potential candidates for the newly re-opened vacancy at St John’s Chapel in Champaign.
Met for about 90 minutes with the Dean of Nashotah House, in my role as Chairman of the Board.
Attending Evening Prayer in St Mary’s Chapel.
Visited with some students and staff for just a bit before heading to downtown Milwaukee and All Saints’ Cathedral for Bishop Roger White’s funeral. It was SRO, as you might imagine.
Late dinner at a delightful French restaurant in an up-and-coming “hip” section of downtown Milwaukee with Christopher Wells, Executive Director and Editor of the Living Church.
