What in God's name are we doing here? This question doesn't always have abundantly clear answers. Yet as the Body of Christ, as a Church that is larger than any one congregation, we are blessed to come together and ponder this holy question. As we hear of the ongoing stories of God's presence in our lives as individuals, congregations, synod, and ELCA, I am reminded of the faithfulness of our God and the great privilege we have to be a part of God's work in the world. I am challenged by words from Dr Jacobson that the truly awesome blessing of being God's treasured possession should cause us to be mindful that the whole earth is God's. Certainly that will help to guide us as we seek Spirit-filled wisdom to the question before us as we journey together faithfully as a synod into the future.
