General Conference 2012 - April 26

Today we bagan our work in legislative committees. In the committee on the Local Church where I am serving we have about 72 petitions and 4 Resolutions to work through. We read them, discuss them, debate them, perfect them and adopt, refer, reject or don't consider. There are about 65 delegates in our committee. We come from all over the world. The delegates from Africa are full participants in the work of the conference. It is very good to watch them grow into this church process. We completed 23 petitions. Not a bad start. Later I'll pick out a few specifics to share with you. Actually we were in legislative committees through the day. We concluded our day with a session where many people were nominated for the Conference Secretary, The Judicial Council and The University Senate. (you can google those last two and find out what they do!) Following worship it was back to the room for some rest before we do it again tomorrow. steve
