<DIV><FONT size=4>Yes, David. If the key question that was behind the
creation of RS-I was "how do we transform the church, so that those who are the
church (ie, the sensitive and responsive ones) understand what it means to be
mission?"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>The original question stands: What is the key question
for today? Is it something like: "How do we motivate the sensitive and
reponsive ones who understand that the survival of the people of the earth and
the earth itself depends on our working together to make that survival
possible?" I like the idea of striving for a T-shirt phrase, like "Be one
of those who dare to live the future now.", as someone suggested.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>In the US there is a malaise that has spread across the land where the
average person feels helpless to make ant insignificant change. On the other
side are a small group of millionaires and corporations that are able to
control the agenda to protect their interest. In the midst of that we have two
groups emerge,The Tea Party has been very effective in moving
their agenda trough elective politics. The Occupy Movement has been
less effective due to the fact that they have not found an effective move
their agenda bound the physical limits of their encampments. Both appeal
to those in economic distress. But the Tea Party only leads them to
vote against their own self-interest for candidates who continue to vote on
behalf of the 1%. The Occupiers have never been able to move beyond the local
and unify themselves as board movement over the nation al
geography. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What I am trying to point us toward is to create an event that do
the the kind of awakement that RS-1 did. Then we need some kind of
training process that can formulate a movement that can effect change on a
broad horizon. Sort of like the Tea Party without the narrow reduced
context but like the Occupiers that could appeal to a broad population base
and appeal to the economic pain they feel. <BR></DIV>
<DIV>I have not thought beyond this conceptually. I do not know what the
content would be - whether is is religious or secular or a combination.</DIV>

<DIV>It would be good if you could spell out what that might mean, considering
RS-1 was based on transparency of the Christian symbols, and, who do you have
in mind to build it, offer it and teach it? If we are going to entertain
questions we need to take seriously the answers. They need to point to
some door or action that those of us who are scattered can go through or help
open.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>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.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>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
<STRONG><FONT size=4>* </FONT></STRONG> "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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>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?</FONT></DIV>
