Statement from the Head of Deputation, The Rev. David Teschner – Christ & Grace, Petersburg
Friday, July 17, 2009 by Diocesan Staff
Deputies and Alternates from our diocese have worked diligently every day to follow legislation moving through committees. We have met early every morning before committee meetings at 7:30 a.m. A spirit of respect, good humor and honesty have allowed us to discuss sensitive issues without agreement. Overall, the 800 plus deputies from our 110 dioceses have conducted their business with care for one and all. We wish everyone back home could experience the worship and legislative deliberation of our diverse church. We have felt and been strengthened by your prayers.
