[Oe List ...] I heard it on the grapevine, Steve Ediger asked a compelling question yesterday

[via OE]

In the mid-80's, Gene Marshall published a binder with different conversation and workshop methods spelled out, for use by House Churches. Think I still have my copy in the garage.

A few notes on "art-form" and ORID conversations...In the 60's and 70's the Ecumenical Institute and its faculty from the Faith and Life community at UT Austin, conducted conversation about the impact of works of art. Notably Picaso's Guernica - impressions of saturation bombing; and the film Requim for a Heavyweight staring Anthony Quinn as the washed up boxer who decides that even he can live his life... The focus of these two conversations was not to teach anything directly but rather to allow the participants of the RS-I (Religious Studies - I seminar) to experience their experience of the painting and the film. As pedegogs we were listening to the participants' responses for their theological views, which could guide us in guiding the following sessions of the 44 hour weekend course.


I'm not sure when we formulated the ORID format - Marylin Olyer should know :-) but I associate ORID with our formalizing of facilitator skills training courses and the manuals for Group Facilitation Methods (now ToP Facilitation Methods) and Participatory Strategic Planning (now ToP Strategic Planning). Personally I think that the earlier titles / branding "GFM" and "PSP" are much more self-descriptive and clearer for marketing purposes. I suppose we could use both: "ToP - Group Facilitation Methods"; and "ToP - Participatory Strategic Planning". 



Happy Holidays to All.../ Sherwood (on the road facilitating workshop on agricultural development in Kazakhstan and Kyrgykstan...back home Dec 18th.)

Me: “Where did the art form methodology come from?



David McKlesky:  “Rudolf Bultman.  This is his method of scriptural grounding.”

As I heard it, he asked
Is there a difference between an Art Form Conversation and ORID question - and- someone just mentioned a "spirit question".



What is the difference between an art form conversation, an ORID conversation, a spirit question? 



Jan Sanders, I know,  was recently asked by her teachers and principles at Aruba University why the conversation was called "art form" conversation. 
It sent her looking back into Brian Stanfield's work and Susan Langer's cultural mythology and meaning making.



Does someone have a generous answer?
