Though there have been many, and I mean MANY, incredible moments at Synod, I can't imagine there will be a better one than this.
W. Mark Clark delivers his Nomination Speech to Synod, and the floor planners put the Southwest Conference delegation table directly in front of the podium from which he spoke.
By the time he finished, we were all in tears. We were moved. The Spirit is in this, and we lift Mark up in prayer as he begins his ministry as an officer of the United Church of Christ.
A side-note: Mark came and spoke to our delegation during our morning caucus yesterday morning. Before he left (he had three breakfast meetings that day), we formed a circle around him, laid hands upon him, and lifted him up in prayer.
I took this picture while he was speaking, and the background seemed appropriate: the sun is rising on W. Mark Clark, and under his leadership on the United Church of Christ.
