Wednesday in Holy Week
by Bishop Daniel
on April 12, 2017
- Morning Prayer in the cathedral.
- Prepped for the midday Mass.
- Updated and revised the text of an Easter homily from a earlier for use this weekend at the cathedral.
- Participated in a two-hour training/tutorial on our new database system given by our coach/consultant Pete Sherman.
- Celebrated and preached the liturgy for Holy Wednesday.
- Lunch at home. Leftovers.
- Processed a short stack of emails.
- Made my pre-Easter confession (to a retired priest whom I recruited for special duty).
- Read and made some notes on a substantial draft response from the Executive Council to a document on ecumenism from the “faith and order” section of the World Council of Churches. The draft has been circulated for comment by the Executive Council.
- Took note of a message from another diocese regarding a disciplined (or, in this case, restored) member of the clergy. Bishops get a pretty steady supply of such notices.
- Responded substantively via email to a pastoral issue raised by one of our clergy.
- Consulted with the Archdeacon on an ongoing pastoral/administrative matter.
- Read Evening Prayer in the cathedral about 15-30 minutes earlier than usual so I could get home and take a walk before dinner. #10,000steps
