Thursday (St Agnes)
by Bishop Daniel
on January 21, 2016
- Customary Thursday morning weights and treadmill workout.
- Morning Prayer at home.
- Processed a bevy of emails, took care of a small but important Nashotah-related task. At the office around 10.
- Consulted with the Archdeacon on an administrative matter and followed through with an email.
- Moved the clergy retreat liturgy planning ball several yards down the field.
- Caught up with some reading connected with my membership on the board of Forward Movement.
- Reviewed some documents in preparation for an afternoon conference call of the Nashotah House Board of Directors
- Took a phone call from Susan Park, who served with her husband for several years as a missionary in Peru, concerning some development there. (Springfield has a companion diocese relationship with Peru.)
- Lunch at home. Leftovers.
- Made final preparations for and then chaired a 75-minute conference-call meeting of the Nashotah House Board of Directors. Our task consisted of the annual review of the Dean’s performance.
- Followed up the meeting with a detailed summary via email to members of the board. This kind of thing is very draining to me, so I waked a few laps around the Roundhouse rotunda.
- Took a reasonably close fly-by of the Episcopal Church’s Title IV canons on clergy discipline. Just a precautionary move to ensure that we are in compliance. I believe we are.
- Evening Prayer in the cathedral.
