From the Transition Committee – September 2019

 The committee met via teleconference on Wed 14 August.  Co-chair Gary Swartz reviewed  Transition’s work to date beginning with Bishop Brookhart’s farewell at the 2018 convention.  He led a thorough evaluation by committee members of our recent Walkabouts with the bishop-candidates.  About 500 people attended the six sessions in the state.  There were some high points and unique moments and some difficulties with tight schedules.  A number of items will be preserved for such future endeavors.
