Without knocking COGOP or the Assembly, would someone summarize the day?

My quick summary...

The morning prayer time is a good improvement from past assemblies. It's a guided time of prayers of agreement with a worship team and all...I like the participation much better than meeting with regional delegation in a specified spot to pray as has been custom.

Business was pretty smooth.
Bishop Howard gave a lengthy "General Overseer's Report" which was enlightening, though it a bit lengthy (yes I repeated it). I would characterize it as a rationale of the many changes, etc. that will be revealed as we move forward (as well as a few that have already taken place...) I liked it.

The rest of the business was relatively unremarkable, IMO, but certainly not painful as it has been in past assemblies for me.

Evening: take time to find and watch the video that they showed us sort of celebrating the past, including clips from former overseers, etc. Quite inspiring, actually.

The Bahamas Praise Team was good. Energetic and passionate, which I like.

Clayton Endecott's message was very insightful...I actually enjoy his mild demeanor and delivery. Funny moment was when he referred to how he preached in Europe being much more subdued and said, "I gonna go back there and preach like this (paraphrase)" meaning loud. I asked a neighbor, "He was loud?" becuase in the pentecostal tradition, (which was his subject matter) he would have been categorized has quiet(or worse...a teacher!!!!!)

Sorry, was supposed to be brief.

No one was chosen. As I understand it, they were unable to reach one accord so they did not present anyone to the Assembly. They didn't mention this from the platform, though.

They re-introduced Brother Clements as the NA Presbyter. They said he was re-affirmed by the Presbyters of North America.

Does anyone know what exactly constitutes an "overwhelming consensus"?

The one I was referring to was South America...Bro. Mojica is not continuing (health issues, I think).
