<div><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I remember when you were very interested in the Church of the Savior. Isn't it interesting the paths we take especially when either would have been great plus hundreds of others. You couldn't have lived a more fulfilled life than the one you lived on the path you took. Blessings on the work of the Cosbys. Hope John is doing well today. I am just getting started with my day. Love to you both. Diane</FONT></div>

<div class=MsoNormal><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">This was especially significant for us because Gordon and Mary Cosby had been the influential and challenging leadership of a college CSM (Christian Student Movement) retreat that we attended back in 1960. After seminary and in an early parish, we studied the books written about the Church of the Savior, as well as the article in Time magazine about the Ecumenical Institute. We were in Virginia at another congregation when Bill Newkirk and Carl Ennis visited, urging us to recruit a PLC and then an RS-I. </SPAN></FONT></div>

EI provided a place to live. Trusting the mystery and George Holcombe, Jim Addington (PLC), Marilyn Miller, and Phil Townley (RS-I for our parishioners), we made our big journey to the West Side in a blizzard during March 1969 ... 44 years ago this month. The rest is history. </SPAN></FONT></div>
