[Dialogue] The key question . . .

[James Wiegel]

Well, this is already a better conversation than I imagined.  Candidates so far:

Considering what we were/are/might be, what is our 
calling?  What are we called to know/do/be?  Jan and Steve
What are some of the 
important partnerships the future needs?  Jan
 "How do I
      get you to change your mind and do what I think is right?"  Jim B
"How are we to live together and
                  preserve this planet for the future?" ?  Karen

 any others?

Thanks for this Forbes article, Steve.  I observe 
myself and others needing, and having the opportunity to, re-find our 
"calling".  This happens often as circumstances change - health, 
economic resources, people dying, new friends, new ideas, 
communities/institutions dying,  communities/institutions showing 
signs of new life, etc. .  And the more I am sensitive to the nuances of my 
situation, the more I realize that there are open doors in even the most 
restrictive situations (The Future Is Open) - so circumstances are always 
changing, at least somewhat.  
 
In Forbes, such a dollar oriented publication, 
this author uses the word "calling" - that comes from a religious tradition - 
our human concept of who God is * 
 "calling" us to know-do-be something.  She makes good 
points - including taking the long view (what does the future require?).  
But "following your dreams" doesn't quite cut it as a total substitute for using 
what you have to serve the needs of the universe.
 
In this 50th year of EI/ICA, some of the questions to 
live with:  Considering what we were/are/might be, what is our 
calling?  What are we called to know/do/be?  What are some of the 
important partnerships the future needs?

* Just back from a 
great week at Chautauqua with M-F talks by John Shelby Spong.  Thus the 
"human concept of God" as a foundation for approaching the Bible, theology, 
the depth and openness of life.
