Curious about the convention? Here's excerpts from my diary.

Sunday: We went to the consecration service at the Atlantic Civic Auditorium. As before, I was impressed with the all white dress code. After the service a group of us toured Underground Atlanta.

Monday: Out of the myriad choice of classes, I attended a Music Therapy class. I was so touched by the music that I couldn't stop crying. After a quick lunch, I attended the mass choir of 3000 voices. Absolutely loved the songs and those strong tenor voices surrounding me.

Tuesday: I decided to skip the class and do my exercises. Mass choir was wonderful again today. Then the Inner Light Choir practiced our two songs for our performance later but I felt we didn't do well.

Wednesday: Once again we had a fantastic mass choir rehearsal and we made it through all twenty songs. Our (the Inner Light Choir) performance tonight at the civic auditorium turned out great and the audience responded well - God had taken over.

Thursday: We reviewed all the songs for the mass choir.

Friday: We started taping the mass choir songs and then grabbed a quick lunch. I was one of those selected to be part of the subset of the mass choir to sing on the stage that evening. How exciting!

A few of us stayed in Atlanta after the GMWA workshop to tour the High Museum of Art with great 18th and 19th century paintings, tour the Coca Cola Co., visit the Swan House and tour CNN. Then to top off our trip to Atlanta on Sunday we attended the Ebenezer Church where Dr. Martin Luther King preached. It was an exciting week indeed.
