A massive thank you to those who were navigating the complexity of arrangements for Sunday, yesterday, and today. The email chain included James Farwell, Ross Kane, Jacqui Ballou, Bob Flanagan, John Knight, Nicky Burridge, Joe Thompson, Beth Clarke, and John Erbe. A massive thank you to everyone.
Facilities did an amazing job in clearing the snow. Joe and the library staff managed to have the library open. John Knight did a breakfast run to ensure that our GOE takers had food and that the GOEs went smoothly. I especially want to lift up Dr. James Farwell. He is the Vice President of the North American Academy of Liturgy and was on Saturday in Valparaiso. It is a major honor to have such a prestigious position. And he was combining that work with the logistics of welcoming the GTS students to their residential experience at VTS.
It has been stressful. I am grateful to the way everyone helped out.
The Very Rev. Ian S. Markham, Ph.D.
