Today begins the 120th North American Convention of the Church of God in Anderson. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend this year. This is especially disappointing since last year's experience was exceptional and rejuvenated my interest in returning again. I am already planning for next year.
While I cannot be there in person I am glad to see that live and archived web streaming of the evening services will be available at the NAC 2006 website. This at least allows the rest of us to look in at what is happening, but of course does not substitute for being there in person and taking advantage of other activities and connecting with friends. UPDATE 06/25/06 - Now they have added the morning services as well.
I wish that they would also provide web streaming for the General Assembly sessions that begin on Tuesday. Of particular interest this year, the GA will be addressing the future location(s) of the North American Convention. Hopefully, there will be collective wisdom that sees the event move around the country so that more people can experience it. (See my previous comments on this topic HERE).CORRECTION 06/24/06 - In actuality the GA will be only dealing with the future of Warner Auditorium (see report HERE). The recommendation is to sell it along with all the campmeeting property to Anderson University. Warner Auditorium would be demolished, and the Ministries Council would have over $3.4 million available that would free them up for ministry instead of property management. The NAC location will not be directly dealt with this year, although it should, in my opinion. Unfortunately, the report is tending to bias for remaining in Anderson.
If anyone reading this is at the NAC, please leave some comments here telling us your impressions of this year's event.
