Discernment Retreat: Day 2

Friday was our first full day. I did not sleep well Thursday night so Friday was also a long day.

Positvely, I have been able to meet many people on the Commission for Ministry, which guides and governs much of the road towards holy orders.

This time has been eye opening for me as I begin to fathom the girth of diversity in the Diocese and how comfortable Anglicans are with ambiguity.

I am working through the whiplash of realizing that a year ago I had an M.Div. from a respected seminary, had decent national and good regional ecclesiastical relations. Now I have only a few local relationships, no national ones and have a theological education that is insufficient at best.

Lord have mercy and deliver your servant through these murky unknown waters. Amen.

Something to say?
