Jerusalem GAFCON Day 3

Hey all, Sorry about the intermittant reports. Access to the internet is restricted to a few moments between sessions while we are at the main conference hotel. However, there are great things happening here. I realized that many of the western Anglicans that are here haven't had the 5 years of blessing that we who are part of the Mission have had. For many, this is the first large "synodical" type gathering where thye haven't had to look over their shoulders for the next spear, and where they understood for the first time that all the people around them at worship believed as they did!

There are great things being wrought here for the orthodox Anglican body. We have been asked not to comment on our blogs about details, but let me say that we will not be disappointed at the end....and will, in fact be greatly encouraged by what the Holy Spirit is working in our midst. There are some who are here and hesitant...where many of us were 5-6 years ago. There are others who just want it all to be solved today. So those of us who have tasted the freedom of Godly leadership are having to be very gracious and patient with those who still want to fix the Anglican Communion from within. However, I am sure that all will be encouraged when the Spirit is done with us.

The worship is wonderful, the fellowship is amazing, the conversations are at a heart level, and God is good...all the time. Please continue to pray that the Holy Spirit will move in a mighty way to give us a path forward. God Bless you all.
