Tuesday (St Cuthbert)
by Bishop Daniel
on March 20, 2018
- Regular weekday AM routine. Morning Prayer in the cathedral.
- Discussed an ongoing administrative situation with the Archdeacon.
- Did some final edits, formatted, and printed the working text of my homily for Thursday evening, when I will receive a former Roman Catholic priest into the ordained ministry of the Episcopal Church, this taking place at St Mary’s in Abingdon, Maryland.
- Attended a bit to the ongoing task of overseeing travel arrangements for Bishop Elias and Lucy to visit us from Tabora this June.
- Got to work on my homily for this Saturday’s Chrism Mass, taking it from “developed notes” toward “working script,” which was a long leap.
- Broke from this to head home for lunch. Leftovers.
- Stopped by my polling place to vote. It’s barely more than a stone’s throw from my home, but in another congressional district!
- Finished the homiletical work I had begun before lunch.
- Attended by email to some liturgical details pertaining to the Chrism Mass.
- Wrote a 500-word article for the next issue of the Springfield Current. It will go live on the website Easter Monday.
- Did some online research for “best practices” in employee performance reviews. Made some pertinent notes.
- Evening Prayer in the cathedral.
