Opening Worship and Commitee Launch

Heard Phylis Tickle over breakfast this morning. Just as awesome in person as in print. Wonderful sense of humor reminiscent of my "Southron" mentors.  Worship - 2 plus hours of true inspiration. Native American presence, water, dance, art, parade puppets, live musicians of many types, the first baptism during GA, communion for a few thousand and a lot more. 

Our committee work began this afternoon with orientation, getting to know each other and learning how Roberts Rules works in this setting.  Odd having press and observers sit behind you in the other half of the room.
