Tuesday (Consecration of Samuel Seabury)

Weekly and daily task planning at home.
Morning Prayer in the cathedral.
Consulted with the Archdeacon over some ongoing matters.
Took a pastoral-care phone call from one of our clergy.
Drove further downtown to meet with an attorney regarding some personal estate planning.
Did some routine personal organization maintenance–properly filing items cluttering my computer desktop.
Lunch from HyVee (Chinese), eaten at home.
Did a little bit of General Convention-related business.
Got to work on refining and printing the working script of my homily for this Sunday (St Barnabas’, Havana), which task was paused and resumed following a conversation with one of our priests about an ongoing pastoral project.
Hit the road northbound late in the afternoon toward Normal. Evening Prayer along the way. Enjoyed dinner and Christ the King with a sizeable portion of their membership. We discussed in a very detailed, sometimes rather raw, fashion the evolving protocols for establishing a geographic Parish of McLean County with St Matthew’s. This is emotionally laborious, but well worth the expenditure if it yields the fruit I hope it does. Home around 10.
