is a problem for me these days (in other words, “figuring out what
is really going on”). With the tsunami of resources and the
plethora of media, I find myself at sea trying to find firm ground
to stand on, and an articulated perspective of what is going on that
has some basis beyond my current opinions or those of my (currently)
favored commentators. This emerging dilemma was recognized, last
century, in the work of the staff and colleagues of The Ecumenical
Institute of Chicago. In their courses and internal operations they
spelled out an approach to “Study Methodology” that, for its
time, seemed helpful. A half century later, I wonder how to outline
an adequate approach to “study” .</b></font></font></font></p>

We had 4 of us read The Five Invitations in a month. A two hour study every Monday led by a different person with a focus on grounding the author's insights in our lives. Having each of us lead a session was helpful but it was great to listen to people's examples from their owm lives</span></div><div style="font-size:16px">2<span class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">. Having a group or just two to study together is great. Mary D'Souza and I read 'Yes to Life'- only two session but probably got twice as much out of reading when reading with somebody else</span></div><div style="font-size:16px">3<span class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">. Charting got me through grad school and is still a reflective tool that keeps me focused- lead Bonhoeffer's Life Together- had to chart to begin to grasp his thinking.</span></div><div style="font-size:16px"><br></div><div style="font-size:16px" dir="ltr">Thanks.
