And to be frightened of it is what sends everybody scurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, all that. Unknown is what is. Accept that it's unknown, and it's plain sailing.

Pat Stewart and Mary Clutz taught me IE.So what were some of the images? Global grid (I can reproduce it even to this day), three triangles superimposed on a NASA photo of Earth (triangles were Congregation, Cadre, and eventually Guild), The slogan was "The Local Church: Body of Christ--Hope of the World", imbalances in the Social Process triangles, New Religious Mode (I still have the devotional materials based on it), and eventually The Other World in the MIdst of this World (this more or less pushed us to "ground" our church/religious language in ordinary language; I find it a never ending work, sigh).The LCX in itself was presented/taught in two, 3-inch binders. One key differentiation for me was noticing that contradictions operate under problems. Throughout the two binders the emphasis was on identifying/creating practical tools.Me? I'm now a retired Lutheran pastor (congregational focus), retired instructor in biostatistics (university level), and most recently soon-to-be-retired psychiatric social worker (severe mental illness). I guess that is enough of me.
