As the Assembly progressed, the voting that seemed overwhelming at the beginning was completed. There is a new bishop-elect, Rev. Dr. Laurie Jungling. There is thanksgiving and anticipation.
I also found this to be ironic - three years ago at another Synod Assembly, I took this picture of Bishop Jessica on the screen as she gave her annual report. In the audience is the back/side of Pastor Laurie. She is in the blue shirt at the right side of the picture.
Who could have known that three years later Pastor Laurie would be elected to follow Bishop Jessica upon her retirement. Only the Holy Spirit knew, and certainly led us all throughout the day.
Blessings.
