[sinod] Wednesday 16th: our first talgu day

[Luc Saffre]

Tere sinoditalgulised!

as announced (and unless some new surprise happens), our first talgu day 
will start this Wednesday at 12h30 in Pirita Klooster (Merivälja tee 18) 
and end at 17:00. Those who can, are invited to stay one more hour for 
the mass, which starts at 17:00.

We will be 8 participants (3 pastors and 5 lay persons, 7 men and 1 
woman, 4 Catholics, 2 Lutherans, 1 Anglican and 1 Orthodox).

Besides the 8 "physical" participants, there a 8 more team members who 
can't come but we count on them to pray for us.

It would be great if those who cannot participate physically could send 
me a simple sentence of greeting or blessing, which I would read at the 
beginning of the meeting.

Our working language will be Estonian.

Our goal is to write a common text to which we all consent and which 
expresses what we have to say at the Synod on Synodality. The "agenda" 
on my website (Agenda for the first talgu meeting 
<https://hw.saffre-rumma.net/sc/talgud/1/>) is only what I personally 
imagine at the moment for this text. I am preparing a printable document 
as our instrumentum laboris 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumentum_laboris>. It is possible 
that none of my suggestions will be accepted. I don't expect us to 
finish our text during the first meeting. We will decide after the first 
meeting whether there will be more meetings. I have never done such a 
project before, so everything is possible.

You are welcome to bring your notebook computer with you, maybe you will 
use it.

There will be moments of prayer. If you have some favourite song or 
prayer text, bring it with you so that we can use it.

About money. Pirita convent financially relies on their work as a hotel 
business, and tourism isn't doing very well at these times. Their normal 
price is 20€ for a meal with dessert, and I promised that we will pay 
this price + a donation for the room rent. But money should not be an 
obstacle for anybody to participate. So I will ask everybody to 
contribute as much as you feel able to contribute, and I bet that the 
total will be enough (if I lose my bet, I will pay what is missing :-).
