[Dialogue] asking questions

[James Wiegel]

There has been this movement in human history of being the sensitive and responsive ones, with many manifestations, forms and stories.  Certainly, stuff like the Santa Fe institute represents this reality in our lifetimes.  This phenomenon emerges all the time, even, I think, among other species than our own.  The Ecumenical Institute interpreted Historical Christianity as a movement which celebrated, had faith in, and gave form and blessing to this phenomenon with the expectation that this movement could be renewed. -- based on signs of creative turmoil like the ecumenical movement, the numbers of leaders in emerging nations who had been formed through Christian churches,  Vatican II, etc., the theological turmoil and creativity which came after the second world war, etc.
