Don Jones must have taken courses from the Faith and Life Community (RS1 offered beginning in 1958 in Texas) and then created a version to teach to his youth of Park Ridge (don't know where Park Ridge is) in 1961. The EI call to Joe Matthews was in 1962 and move to West Side in 1963. Was Hillary at the EI either in Evanston or 5th City?   Does she have more experience with the Movement than the RS1 version Jones created?

Interesting to hear this fuller history -- I had heard parts of it -- the meeting of MLK, Jr. on Chicago's south side, etc.  She has always operated from a context larger than herself.  Glad to hear she had 'You are Accepted' among her resources.  That has helped all of us on the journey!
