[Oe List ...] Tillich and . . .

[jlepps39]

From Ann Epps on John's phone:Nancy, I had no idea your family lived in the Casa View neighborhood in the 90's!John and I were members of  Casa View Methodist church between 1968 and 1972 when we were  graduate students at SMU and Perkins Theology school.  Will Bailey was there then shepherding quite a cadre of people who became close friends of ours.  Some of John's professors also came to Casa View.We also occasionally went to Northaven Methodist where Bill Holmes, another EI course grad, preached.  In 1972, we joined the Order.AnnSent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device

Jim, we bumped into the pastor of the “church across the street“ from Joe’s, while we were in Dallas in the early 1990’s.  We had moved from NYC to the Casa View neighborhood of Dallas, and went to a little church unaware of any EI connection. On our first visit, there were pieces of typing paper posted around the sanctuary with the names of people’s saints on them, and one of them said JOSEPH WESLEY MATHEWS.   We were astonished of course.  We came back to church & the pastor’s Sunday School class a few times, and he would absolutely fill the blackboard in the way we used to teach.  The pastor was Will Bailey, and he told us that Slicker used to pastor the church across the street.  We were thrilled to find this church and Will Bailey, but in the end we couldn’t handle the pure grief of the congregation as they prepared to let Bailey retire after more than 40 years there.  We backed away from it, with our 2 toddlers in tow.  Thanks so much for attaching the video segments of Slicker... What a gift!Nancy TraskOn Tue, Apr 27, 2021 at 5:33 PM James Wiegel via OE <oe at lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote:It would be great and instructive to detail a bit the wider history of the RS-1 course.  Apparently the 44 hours did not fall complete from heaven.  I took the course in November 25-27, 1966 and returned for RS-1 Pedagogy sometime in the spring of 1967.  By that time, there was a manual and the course was an amazingly crafted event.  Mary Laura Jones once described her earlier experience of "RS-1" as a weekend at a camp with Joe Mathews talking.

    Hi,
    I was there with Gordon in summer
      1966.  I have no memory of such a heresy!!  Please tell me more.

        Dear Friends,
         
        I was browsing around in the
          Archives Spirit Movement collection this morning and came
          across a video/audio clip of Gordon Harper talking about some
          of his memories of the earlier days of his involvement in the
          Spirit Movement.
         
        His comments about a meeting
          in Detroit the summer of 1966 caught my attention. Evidently
          the group was discussing whether or not to use the Tillich
          paper in RS-1. Can you even imagine NOT having the Tillich
          paper in RS-1? Not going out of the church and playing the
          Tillich game? 
         
        So, do any of you know
          anything about this discussion? What was the issue with the
          Tillich paper that was causing concern?
         
        And, if not the Tillich
          paper, what other paper was being discussed as an alternative?
         
        Thanks for any input you may
          have.
