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” .</span></b><o:p></o:p></p>
