Role Playing in Louisville

We spent the afternoon role playing,
the seventy-five of us incoming moderators
who are taking a crash course in Robert's Rules of Order in Louisville.
We took turns acting out a live Presbytery meeting.
The simulation felt real!
microphones
contentious issues
people jumping up to speak.

I was a candidate trying to get ordained.
I embellished my role a little,.
(maybe too much)
blew kisses to the crowd.
waved,
told them I loved them,
gave "semi-satisfactory" answers to the questions.
It brought the house down.
It was good to laugh,
my little personal right brain corner of the day.
