BOM Retreat
I just spent Thursday, Friday, Saturday with the Board of Ordained Ministry at Collins Retreat Center. They were deciding whether or not to advance me and 10 other candidates. Some of us are up for full ordination, while others, like myself, are up for commissioning and probationary membership. We'll be hearing back from the BOM (which apparently many pronounce "boom", but which I still prefer to call "bomb") in the next two weeks. Teams of two will come from the BOM to each candidate to inform us in person of the result. Except for the two of us who are still away at seminary; we'll be receiving phone calls. Mine is at 3:30 Pacific Time this Thursday, Feb 2.
I think my interviews went pretty well. Nothing that we discussed caused me to think there were any grounds not to recommend me. The interviews were actually pretty fun and like an interesting discussion of the issues we were covering. I'll find out for sure on Thursday.

Cool! Sheeyun will be pleased to know that people *do* call the BOM "bomb" (or "boom")-- I haven't heard any nicknames used in this conference.
My paperwork actually did all get in, and our retreat is in March. I should get it into my calendar....
It's good to hear that you enjoyed yourself. I still feel fairly doomed about the whole thing. Learned yesterday, though, that Anglicans Can't Come Back if they're turned down once-- say, because of lack of pulpits. YIKES!!!!
