#GS10 Day 2
May 11, 2010
A brief reflection from Stoney
Had another early morning today and I must say that im getting used to this tiring schedule they are giving us. Today was not as busy as yesterday though mostly because there are less papers and amendments for us to hand out and if you didn’t know, this is the most important part of our stewardship program. We get to photocopy papers and not only that we get to distribute them. What a Job huh!!..lol. So far I have learned how to use the very much complicated photocopy mahine very well. Thanks to Marissa I now know how to photocopy an A4 paper one sided, both sided, 2 pages in one and even 4 pages in one. I also found out that the photocopier can also sort documents and isn’t that amazing!:D Im looking foward to learning how to do that in the next few days. But even while I was enjoying the photocopying I managed to pick up some more importants things. One of the big discussions today was about the Anglican Covenant. Im not well aware of what this covenant is about but during one of the caucus someone said it was something like a contract. I think its more like a set of principles or standards that all Anglicans believe in and live by. Something that we as Anglicans can relate to with other Anglicans all over the world. But anyways back to the discussion on this topic it was interesting to see that most of the delegates come to the same conclusion that they are ok with Sections 1-3 but are not sure about sections 4. The discussion went very well and its good see a little of the unity from the three tikanga. We also have just finished presenting the youth bill for setting up a Tikanga Toru Youth Commission and Im very happy to see that we have the support of all three tikanga. We are now discussing the details of the bill but its great to see that the Synod is recognising the youth and ours needs. Im going to stop here cause I think there are some more stuff for me to photocopy. Duty calls!
