"The envelope please..."
Special thanks to those who helped Synod98 Live! come alive
A number of people helped in making General Synod's first official electronic news coverage happen:
Alan Perry, for helping coordinate logistics and suppling the Internet connection and digital camera.
Amanda Kerr, for loaning me her laptop when she knows darned well I forget things like, oh, where I put important things. (I promise it'll come home, Mandy!)
Keith Nunn in Toronto for managing the ACC side of the site, contributing superb graphics for both sites, and maintaining news releases in the Anglican News Services area.
The Rev. Canon Paul Feheley, rector of St. George's Oshawa, a first-time member who is allowing us to see Synod through his eyes in our special Diary of a Newbie feature.
Timothy Morgan: One of the original Anglicans Online followers who still has the world's keenest eye for typos.
Beric Farmer: Back in Toronto on the server end, keeping things humming, whirring, and clicking.
Doug Tindal, for apparently scribbling a note down three years ago when I casually mentioned in the June 5, 1995 issue of my unofficial Synod newsletters: "Perhaps next Synod, the church will let me come to General Synod and do nothing but electronic networking." And his gentle prodding and enthusiastic support of the concept and project.
The Rev. June Maffin, besides being a good priest, is also the best mom anyone can have. (Yes, I'm wearing a jacket at night.)
Brian Reid and Cynthia McFarland at Anglicans Online, my digital alma mater, for giving such great plugs to this project.
All the Anglican parish webmasters across the country who placed links to Synod98 Live! on their site and information in their parish bulletins on May 17.
My friends at work (Emerge Online Inc.) on whom I am relying for technical help and the occasional "attaboy."
The Apostle Paul, who told a young priest named Timothy: "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity."
And music for energy when passing out seems more logical than plugging in. Inspiration is gained from: "I'll Lead You Home" by Michael W. Smith, and the soundtracks to the musicals Annie, Chicago, and Guys and Dolls.
To all of you... thanks!
