[Oe List ...] [Dialogue] the new ICA

[Beret Griffith]

After being a part of the eventfulness of Accelerate 77, the unveiling of
the 50/50 art form, and work in The Archives with 13 colleagues over the
past three weeks, I second Terry's comments. I experienced a new form of the
EI/OE/ICA taking shape. ToP Trainer's Network folks, have for many years,
been among my closest ICA colleagues and friends in a new form of community
even though I am an inactive member of the network.

The subject line, "the old Order passing away," has been grabbing my
attention for several days now as I open my email. While that is certainly a
statement of fact in regard to our EI/OE/ICA community, it is far from being
the whole story. During the past academic year, September-May 2012, ICA-USA
had 200+ university students engaged in preparation field work for the
city-wide share fair, "Accelerate 77." Then, for ten weeks during the
summer, we were rocked daily with 40 interns passionately "bending history"
as they completed the work. Their presence has been living proof of our 50th
Anniversary slogan, "Midway in a Century of Care."

The following link will give you a glimpse at what I'm talking about. You'll
see Seva Gandhi, a full-time staff person of ICA-USA and a current member of
the ICA-International Board of Directors, and Dylan Amlin, one of the summer
interns, being interviewed about the "Sharing Approaches That Work" event on
September 15:

All is good, all is received, that past is approved, the future is open.

Take care,

Terry
