Colleagues. I appreciated the juxtaposition of Jim's paragraph on 'this movement in human history' and his Carl Jung quote in Jim's email signature. I found myself thinking about the Order Ecumenical, our Archive work and the ICA's 50th anniversary celebrations, and the dialogue about questions. This was the question that I had posed for myself earlier today and offer up for the "afternoon of life": "With whom are you partnering as a soul friend?" (By which I meant, "With whom are you—as a sensitive and responsive one, formed by our experience as the Order Ecumenical—in deeply intentional relationship as listener, companion, mentor, partner, co-learner, and servant?) My partner and soul friend is Fr. Scott Jenkins, the priest at Church of the Holy Family in Aurora, Colorado, and one of the founders of the Ecumenical Catholic Communion 13 years ago.

There has been this movement in human history of being the sensitive and responsive ones, with many manifestations, forms and stories. Certainly, stuff like the Santa Fe institute represents this reality in our lifetimes. This phenomenon emerges all the time, even, I think, among other species than our own. The Ecumenical Institute interpreted Historical Christianity as a movement which celebrated, had faith in, and gave form and blessing to this phenomenon with the expectation that this movement could be renewed. -- based on signs of creative turmoil like the ecumenical movement, the numbers of leaders in emerging nations who had been formed through Christian churches, Vatican II, etc., the theological turmoil and creativity which came after the second world war, etc.
