2024 52 Card Project: Week 18: Bishop
May. 10th, 2024 04:05 pmThe three-day synod assembly is over, and after months of preparation, we have a new bishop-elect, Pastor Jen Nagel.
I took charge of the floor team, the seminarians (pastors in training) who facilitated the electronic voting process--mostly trouble-shooting for the voting members with questions like, "I can't get onto the wireless" and "What's a browser?" (In the collage, the floor team members are the people wearing the red vests). Overall, the synod assembly ran very smoothly, and it was as much a celebration of the outgoing Bishop's twelve years of service as a meeting regarding the regular business of the synod (including electing the new bishop).
(As for what happens next: We'll see.)
