Thanks for this Forbes article, Steve. I observe myself and others needing, and having the opportunity to, re-find our "calling". This happens often as circumstances change - health, economic resources, people dying, new friends, new ideas, communities/institutions dying, communities/institutions showing signs of new life, etc. . And the more I am sensitive to the nuances of my situation, the more I realize that there are open doors in even the most restrictive situations (The Future Is Open) - so circumstances are always changing, at least somewhat.

In Forbes, such a dollar oriented publication, this author uses the word "calling" - that comes from a religious tradition - our human concept of who God is * "calling" us to know-do-be something. She makes good points - including taking the long view (what does the future require?). But "following your dreams" doesn't quite cut it as a total substitute for using what you have to serve the needs of the universe.

In this 50th year of EI/ICA, some of the questions to live with: Considering what we were/are/might be, what is our calling? What are we called to know/do/be? What are some of the important partnerships the future needs?

* Just back from a great week at Chautauqua with M-F talks by John Shelby Spong. Thus the "human concept of God" as a foundation for approaching the Bible, theology, the depth and openness of life.
