Subject: [Oe List ...] FW: Launch of 2nd  Edition of Courage to Lead

The following is a short  article Richard and I wrote on the Launch of the
Courage to Lead book.  Enjoy  

THE ICA CANADA    Courage to Lead Book  Launch
2012 marks the 50th year for the ICA.  We celebrated the last  50 years by
attending ICA Canada’s Annual General Meeting and the Launch  of the Courage
to Lead second edition.  
We were met with  wonderful smells from India as Mariam Gibson had prepared
a gourmet  selection of Indian dishes.  Old friends and colleagues milled
with  fresh young faces of folks who have recently met the ICA.  What  a
thrill to see such vitality.  
The launch was initiated by  Jeanette Stanfield as she placed Brian’s photo
on a table in the front of  the room.  His dedication to the creation of the
first edition was  relived in stories, jokes and memories.  We were reminded
that the  initial creation was born from the questions of board members  and
particularly from a young board member Shelley Cleverly who  felt
passionately the need to share the depths of the ICA commitment to  society
and a lifestyle of service.  
Shelley and Duncan Holmes  recounted their memories of Monday morning
meetings where colleagues  brainstormed common wisdom, read Brian’s writing
and probed for clarity  and insight.  The first version was published in
2000 and seminars  were launched in Toronto.  Over the years a faculty has
grown up  through the courses being offered publicly at ICA and on a regular
basis  through the University Health Network which staffs several hospitals
in  downtown Toronto.  A colleague who had surgery in one of those  
hospitals
recently commented on how caring she experienced the doctors,  nurses and
maintenance staff. 
Twelve young faculty were on  hand to enable us to encounter the twelve
chapters.  Independently,  Richard and I both selected the chapter on
Historical Involvement along  with David Patterson, a long-time colleague. 
In our time together we  explored the ‘passing’ of the baton from one
generation to the next.  Perhaps this was what was most evident in the
evening’s celebration  that the vision of a baton of service and life
abundant was being passed  to a new generation.  We ended the evening with
toasts and a group  creation of a drawing which claimed promises for The
Courage to Lead  .
The original edition captured the existential wisdom of thousands  of
colleagues over several decades of Order and movement life. The  second
edition is the same book made new.  Duncan Holmes in the  forward of the
book says: “We have worked to make the book more  accessible, the language
easier and the references more familiar.  Sometimes we have added more
current examples. I’ve heard people say that  they didn’t understand a
chapter the first time around. The second time,  it was “Wow! Now I get it.
What a powerhouse!” In this revised edition we  wanted to make the
powerhouse in each chapter visible on the first read.  “  Brian’s laughing
voice is still present.  There are also the  life stories of a new
generation willing to transform themselves and  build the new society. 
You’ll want to get your copy  and share it with the next generation.  The
best part is that you  can download an ebook or get a paperback from
iUniverse _bookstore.com_ (http://bookstore.com/) .  The paperback will be  
printed in Canada, USA,
Great Britain or Australia depending on the  location of the order and
shipped around the world.  Or ask your  favorite bookstore to order it. 
Barnes and Noble is already  carrying  the 2nd edition of The Courage to
Lead, Transform Self,  Transform Society. On the cover of the 2nd edition,
you will see geese  flying in the formation of a wedge.  Hope you like it.
