Short version: the lunch for the Church went well. I am still exhausted, though recovering. Yesterday evening saw a special service focused on forgiveness, and included everyone in the Church asking forgiveness of each other. In person. Involving prostrations for those able to do so to God and each other.
Yes, I did it (as best I could), for as long as I could. At some point during the night, had leg cramps from Hades such that I couldn’t even get to the mustard (which works btw). More to come soon, including a bit more on the lunch and the parable of loaves and fishes.
