Bishoping

Yesterday I had little time to journal, so I’ll see what I can remember. In the morning I had breakfast with Bishop Rob and the Bedford church plant advisory team. I found out all sorts of things about the pre-plant church planting process. For example, there is a church planter boot camp. I saw the Bishop’s house in progress and his office. In the afternoon I spent a little time studying for quizzing and a bit more time preparing a devotion for the BOD (Board of Directors). In the evening I followed the Bishop to the BOD meeting. On the way I had the experience of driving a standard transmission vehicle on a rising, falling, twisting, curving road (30) while eating a well-mayonnaised/hot-relished MTO. The BOD meeting was pretty interesting, but pretty long. I heard a lot of the concerns that BIC leaders have right now and heard them discussed. I also sat in the same seat for 4 hours and 10 minutes.

This morning I accompanied the Bishop to another meeting. I was made aware of more concerns pastors currently have. Following that meeting I went to lunch with the Bishop, had some good conversation, then we parted.
