We commissioned the CPSW tonight at the Lutheran church.
The School Principal was late, but we waited for him...since he was the only senior staff member in attendance and we had changed the service date to suit him...as you do to gain another attendee of note. (Not that we needed another noted person with a very new OAM in the congregation) The Lutheran visitors from Loxton were shocked and amazed that all the local resident clergy leaders were present and took part in the service. It took lots of organising. Our aboriginal pastor led the singing on guitar - lots of confusion about standing to sing or not! Visitors from every denomination in town. Rural Ecumencial strength: School Chaplaincy. But I think we should have had an offering...Sacred Stone is coming in September!
The highlight of the night: our newly commissioned CPSW, responded to the event by reading 1 Corinthians 13 - the greatest of these is Love.
That's ecumenical stuff!
