response to Ivor's post

The response to Ivor's post should have credited Dan Gardner as the author. Thanks Dan!

Great Ivor! It's important that the enthusiasm be captured and put to good use. This stuff we are talking about isn't new.

Thanks to all for keeping Marcia's brother Jim in your prayers. Marcia was able to spend a lot of time with him Tuesday and Wednesday. His situation is difficult but there is improvement. He was fitted for a back brace that allows him to sit up (a huge relief from laying on his back constantly) for a few minutes at a time. His wife, Kim, is touring the rehab facility in Seattle today. He continues to have the support and prayers of a multitude of people. Jim, Kim and their daughters deeply appreciate it.

I noticed a common theme running through those blue 'streams' placed in the desert at the Convention Eucharist. THe theme ran along the lines of: "I sense a renewed call to ministry / involvement in my parish and diocese .... I feel more involved in my church .... I sense a new hope for EO ..."
Question: How can we build on this optimism and enthusiasm and not lose the good spirit of Convention? It is often the case that we leave Convention on a high and then the mundane routine sets in and we no longer perceive the joy and creative challenge of our calling as the people of God in this place. Let's not wait until we have a Provisional Bishop - let's get on with the new thing we have perceived. Any thoughts?
