It's the start of 2009. The new United Methodist Book of Discipline is published (not to mention the Book of Resolutions as well). Our church's Cokesbury order came in this morning in the middle of our History of Methodism study. I could barely wait to finish class so I could open them and get my hands on the new, fresh BOD and BOR.
And yes, I started a History of Methodism study at my church, taught by me, the Metho-dork pastor. This is the first week -- 2 meeting times, Tuesday evenings and Wednesday mornings. This means I get to spend 2 hours a week talking about Wesley and Methodism -- to other living souls!
Yes, this is the day that the Lord has made. And I am rejoicing and being glad in it.
I love the smell of fresh polity in the morning.
I'm so proud of you.
ReplyDeleteI got my BoD, but am going to have to get the BoR when I'm in ATL.
You too are such dorks...ill probably go to Cokesbury tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteLance wins...coming in at 1 hour, 51 minutes. Your prize is a $25 shopping spree at the Cokesbury blowout sale. Imagine the library you can start with that!
ReplyDeleteOgle, your parting gift is a lovely bust of Thomas Coke, which will go nicely with your Francis Asbury bust.
The 2008 BOD is actually a tad slimmer than the 2004 BOD. Good to see we're finally going the other way in terms of BOD girth.
:-) Glad to see you're so happy!
