As reported in January, there were ten people who participated in the Archives Sojourn for two weeks after Christmas. They uncovered files for scanning: revisiting Uptown Chicago community work, six projects in Latin America, India - and other subjects here and there. The Archives is indebted to Ed Feldmanis for his commitment to scan the files into PDFs (scanning approximately 12 hours a week). After files are scanned, Wendell Refior turns the PDFs into links for adding to the Archives website. Alan Gammel and myself then add the links to the website - although we are ‘a bit’ behind at the moment. A recently scanned treasure are the 15 spirit talks that were done at the 1981 Global Council. Were you there? The DETECTIVE WORK at this point is: 1. to identify the messengers giving these talks. At that time names were not added to the talks to identify the speakers. It would be great to reveal who they were. 2. Even to make a list of the people who were giving talks that summer would be special without knowing which ones they gave. 3. It would also be a gift if you commented about how you experience the address of any of these talks today as you read them. 4. What else comes to your mind? Enjoy the talks: The Five Great Talks: https://wedgeblade.net/files/archives_assets/23996.pdf. (#675-679) The Spirit Talks: https://wedgeblade.net/files/archives_assets/23987.pdf. (#669-684, minus the five great talks above) The Vocational Journey …. The Memory of the Spirit …. Disorientation of Expenditure Compulsion of Authenticity …. Non-Rationality of Community …. Etc ...
