[Oe List ...] Wonderful video conference last night on Laudiato Si Chapter 1

[steve har via OE]

it was serious fun - inquiry... and we laughed some too. It wasn't EXACTLY
like being there in person studying together....but it is getting darn close

Break-out Session Inquiry
Last night, I  was in a break-out group with Jim Stowall from Oklahoma City
last night for the Laudato Si on a video link.The two of us were "pair
partners" to look at a particular segment of the Pope's letter about our
"Common Home".

The section Jim and I were to work on was:  "The Loss of Bio-diversity"
Paragraphs 32-42.

It is a hot topic in in the oceans, in my small river community on the St.
Croix where 100 years ago people clear cut the 1st growth forest for  logs
and in Costa Rica where United Fruit wanted to make Banana Plantations from
unsustainable land.

We look WAY too serious in the photo...thinking about our own
"bio-diversity" experience.

Chapter Guide
Kathy McGrane was the guide for Chapter 1. See Photo click here:

She is a splendid patient guide with mental models, new technology and Baby
Boomers too. 1st she guided us around her Chapter chart and asked us to go
to work on segments in small breakout groups and try to get at the heart of
the matter. Then we got back together as a whole group and shared insights.

Lurking is Allowed
If you want to "lurk" the conversation via text and see the charts you can
do that here at Trusted Sharing -just register your name and email
https://www.trustedsharing.com/Jfwiegel/798. If you want a copy of the pdf
document you can get one there and you can see the schedule for other
meetings.

There was a group of 3 people in Puna who's local internet failed just
before the video link. Hope they check-out the Trusted Sharing session
notes and join us for the next chapter of Laudato Si. Maybe you will too?

Have a Compelling Question to Share with our Study Group
What's YOUR best question for our study group to consider the theme
is...care for our common home, our global-local world?
Got an interesting community story of bio-diversity challenge to share with
Jim and I? Hope so...
