This topic recalls how I got involved in RS1. It was a blast of cold water in my face and awoke a set of values I did not know I had. 
Thank you for laying out the history of those years. 
My question today-  around me the church hardly exists. It is like they 
have 1) given up or 2) do not know how to change or 3) it is no longer relevant.  
I really am interested in this "new/old"  dialogue. 
Now it feels like I am a child pressing my face against the windowpane to see
what is going on out there!  My oh my.

There are many documents in the Global Archives (in both Spirit Movement and Social Change Collections) that are resources to interpret the decisions made in the 1960s and 1970s about the work of the Institutes in caring for the local church:  https://icaglobalarchives.org/collections/spiritmovement/local-church-experiment/.  One of the early documents states the Local Church Experiment was a six-year project from 1970-1976.  Each Global Research Assembly during those six years had task forces that worked on each stage of the experiment.

You may have other documents in your files to add to this dialogue.  If you do, scan them and send them to me as a PDF (or send them as hard copies to the ICA in Chicago) to be added to the Archives.  

Peace,

Karen Snyder

What was the analysis and strategy that led to “the renewal of the local church for the sake of the world”??

I think there was one, but time wears away memories or, at least, hides them

Anyone??
