We used to say it was "Who am I?" but today it is focussed on "we," not "I." So from what I heard many of us saying, try this. <em>How may "we" (all species) live together on this planet in peace, in a way that secures life for future generations?</em></span></div><div><span><em></em></span> </div><div><span>The second was the dominant question that those who care are asking. Here's what I heard us hinting at on this one. <em>What is the
new face, form and mission of the "movement" (the religious, the invisible college, the church with a little"c," ) and what stories, style and symbols will sustain it?</em></span></div><div><span><em></em></span> </div><div><span>Randy</span></div><div></div><div> </div><div>"Listen to what is emerging from yourself to the course of being in the world; not to be supported by it, but to bring it to reality as it desires."<br>-Martin Buber (adapted)</div></div></body></html>
