That was indeed a great experience -- recording the polity we were
living. Do you still have a copy of the document? Regretfully I do not.<br>

Dear Darrell and other colleagues,<br>
<br>
In the spring and summer of 1977 I was part of a small task force
commissioned by JWM to "write up our Order Polity." He fully intended
to present this, once vetted by him, later that year, because when we
presented the final document to him, two months before he died, his
question was, "Can I bring this to Rome?"<br>
<br>
The task force was a wonderful mix -- David Morton, a brilliant writer
and thinker outside the box; John Epps, a solid theologian; Lyn
Matthews, a profound and mature keeper of the memory for decades;
Isobel Bishop, one of the first leaders of the movement in Australia,
the continent where our work first began to manifest relevance; and me,
Marilyn Crocker, member of the OE since 1968 -- and whose credentials
others than I can offer.<br>
<br>
At that time we five were also functioning as the Global Panchayat,
whose universal roles were to "guard the comprehensive; defend the
deeps; and watch the election."<br>
<br>
The Polity Document we compiled, on behalf of the OE, was 112 pages.
The statements you requested can be found on pages 54 - 62, and are
entitled the 24 Classic Principles of the Order Ecumenical.<br>
<br>
As this was one of the most focused, and internally vetted (thanks to
JWM) efforts to "document" our polity experiment, I am sorry you and
others may not be able to access it on Golden Pathways.<br>
<br>
I thank my beloved partners in that wondrous six month adventure,
David, John, Isobel -- and Lyn -- and of course, Joe. When Bishop Jim,
Joe's brother, visited with us here in Maine six or so years ago, he
asked me for a copy of the "Polity Document." I was happy I had an
extra copy and could pass it along. I imagine he, if anyone, could
appreciate how both the UMC polity, and the collaborative modes of so
many global civilizations all conspired to shape "who we were" in those
wonderful days.<br>
<br>
Grace and peace to you, Darrell, and thank you for asking your
important question.<br>
<br>
Marilyn<br>
<br>
<br>

some point in the far-distant past, I remember a code, a list of twenty
or so statements of foundational beliefs of the Order. One of the
statements went something like “effectiveness, not efficiency, is the
mark of our work.†Another paraphrased was “care is rendered
