[Oe List ...] Further thoughts on the future - the easy one

[Doris Hahn]

When the O:E list-serve began, there was some active effort to make it a
collegial conversation (more internal life oriented) and to keep
predator/lurkers related to the more external Dialogue list. That also
provided a way to give folks who never knew the Order a way to participate
in today's missional concerns. Like Priscilla, I read them both, but still
find myself surprised when a death announcement or such shows up only on
the Dialogue list.
