Shrimp, strawberries, and punch
There is a new Episcopal leader in North Georgia, Bishop Michael Watson. The Annual Conference rolled out the red carpet and put on the Ritz for the new Bishop. The installation service had the pomp worthy of the circumstance we found ourselves in. The Conference put out a real spread at the welcome reception. You know you are at a fancy reception when there is shrimp, strawberries, and a fountain flowing with punch. The chocolate cake I ate for dessert was worth the long drive and sitting through the installation service.
I just wonder about it all. Only God knows what is in store for us as a Conference and as a denomination? The Bishop has a large flock to lead. The church has some big challenges facing it. But the church has been facing these problems since its birth at Pentecost. I just wonder if the first Bishops were greeted with shrimp, strawberries, and a fountain flowing with punch?
