Thanks to Ben Ball for this gracious and generous seeding of a place to significantly honor one of our dear colleagues and mentors, Gene Marshall. I have let some time go by before retrieving this letter so thought I’d remind others who also may have let it
slip by.<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> A double request sometimes helps. We are happy to support this project for a space of honor for a beloved teacher. </span></div>

<span style="font-size:14px">Of course the Ecumenical Institute no longer exists. However, its brainchild, The Institute of Cultural Affairs, flourishes.

I have been in conversation with Karen Snyder, who coordinates the ongoing work of the ICA Global Archives. She and I have worked out the following plan: ICA’s headquarters–EI’s former Kemper Building–contains several named rooms: The Bonhoeffer Room, the
MLK Room, etc. I have seeded with a contribution of $10,000 a fund honoring Gene. The ICA will in turn create on the sixth floor a “Gene Marshall Room” which, in Karen’s words, “highlights Gene and his years of being Dean of the Global Academy and the Spirit
Movement his leadership has continued to catalyze over the years.”</span></p>

<span style="font-size:14px">I invite you to join me in funding this recognition of Gene’s fruitful, unique, and impressive life and work. I will match each of your gifts up to a total of an additional $10,000. That results in a total prospective funding of
over $30,000, which is yet only a token of our appreciation for his tireless and focused intentionality and his faultless collegiality. But at the same time, it will give ICA’s work a significant additional impact.</span></p>

<span style="font-size:14px">Make your check payable to The Institute of Cultural Affairs, mark it, “Honoring Gene Marshall”, and send it to me at the above address. I will immediately forward it to ICA together with my matching amount. Of course all such funds
are fully tax deductible. Include your contact information and I will send you a full accounting. Questions? Contact me or Karen, 312/758-2551.</span></p>
