The process of revolution and new democracy has historically been messy and filled with more "trial-and-error" than "triumph". The new emerging Egyptian political future is coming to grips with its unrealistic expectations.
In this What if... article, the columnist outlines what will happen if a new president is sworn in by the end of June (the current plan) and there has not been a newly ratified constitution. The new legislature is still in the process of appointing the 100 person constitutional draft committee--its March 23 and they hope to get 100 politicians to agree on a new constitution and have it ratified by the new legislature and population by June 30!
As for the potential presidential candidates, i've updated our list according to the news reports we're reading--you can access the Egyptian Presidential Candidates with that link, and we'll try to keep that updated.
By the way...
Right now, I'm at the Church of God Conference Center outside of Alexandria, Egypt. This is an impressive facility for 12 congregations, and they have quite a vision. I am here for the annual General Assembly meeting. I will post pictures, video, and a better description of my time here later this week.
And, Grace returned safely from her week in the Sinai Peninsula--from what Keli reported, she had a good time. I will try to get some of her pictures and stories to share, too. She leaves early in the morning for a youth group retreat!
We're go, go, go here right now! Thanks for your prayers...
