[Dialogue] “And now we know why”

[laurelcg at aol.com]

 As our old friend Paul said a long time ago, " the old things passed away; behold, new things have come." Is that why?

Dick,
I just wanted to affirm your response to my rather glib use of the word “failure”. All of creation, through a sensitive and response capacity, experiments with new forms. They are then constantly refined in the creative process over eons of time to what became lasting. So do we humans. We evolve through experimentation, learn from that experience and adjust. So we certainly were trying to be responsive to a vision of, (HDP, for example), what the new local needs to look like. We may not have succeeded but we learned. And it is that learning (and experimenting) that needs to be shared with other awakened one; and the time is short. You are exactly right: “failure is what drives life”. One thing clear to me is the new paradigm is here. The question is how fast that new paradigm becomes the operating paradigm. Telling the New Story is the new evangelism. 
Thanks!!
Jack

Great question Jim: I did a lot of replicating and would not describe any of them as failures or for that matter the 3 religious houses and for that matter a life time of church renewal- all have been awesome experiences, although would agree if you are saying the basic nature of life is failure....failure is what drives life

Jack:  you said in a recent email . . .


We failed at replication, but now we know why.



We failed at expanding Religious Houses, but now we know why.



We failed at renewing the historical Christian church, but now we know why.



I tried hunting around the archive website and looked a bit around wedgeblade.net.  Is there a document somewhere that outlines these “why’s”?
