does anyone else know what the heck a vestry is?
i do, of course. i'm episcopalian.
as of yesterday, i'm on the vestry for our church. i could come up with a laundry list of mr. burns "excellent"-worthy benefits of being on the vestry of the church in which you're holding your wedding, but i'll save that for later. what this really means is i now have a voice and a vote (!) at st. david's.

oh, and did i mention we're amidst a major and somewhat controversial capital campaign???

this is going to be an interesting three years. i've served (and currently still do, oops) on enough committees and task forces and councils in the church and the episcopal diocese to know that this political experience isn't going to damage my relationship with god or make me feel any angst towards christianity or the church in general. i'm just mostly excited.

first on my agenda: getting our church to subscribe to this.
