My afternoon in Cleveland began with a meeting on the 9th floor of the Church House on Prospect. While there, a number of Conference Ministers test ran the video equipment that the National Offices are investing in with the hopes that the Conferences might also invest in them. What you see is a 'bridging camera' that is simultaneously linking four locations: two of them in Cleveland, one in Washington D.C., and one in Indianapolis. It is not hard to imagine how this could be used in the Southwest Conference both to improve our ability to connect across a huge geography and to reduce the costs of meeting expenses. Stay tuned for more on this....
Then, as the afternoon wore on into the evening, a party broke out at the Renaissance Hotel in Cleveland with about 500 of Rev. Dr. Geoffrey Black's closest friends. It just so happened that it was his birthday, but the occasion was actually part of the weekend of events surrounding his Installation (look for pictures from that later this weekend).
