In the early days (67-72??), we did scripture conversations as a community over breakfast paired with news conversations. Later on (76 ff??), there were quote conversations from those little dark red covered journals that the research people provided also paired with news conversations.  I think, during the Kamweleni human development training schools (79-83??) we had 7 quotes which we cycled through each week.

Can you all help me to recall the questions which were used??

 Son Shanker's church is going through the book of Proverbs in July (31 chapters / 31 days) and we are going through the week's chapters on Thursdays after dinner.

This is what I recall
SCRIPTURE / QUOTE
Read the verse/quote outloud.  Maybe read it a second time?
What are the key words?  What words might we substitute for those words?
So, How might you say this quote / verse in your own words?
-------then I get lost

NEWS
What are 1 or 2 news events of the last day or so?
Which one should we talk about?
--------- then I get lost

I do remember, in Kamweleni, we had a battery operated radio and Sam Were and some of the other faculty would sit out in the sun in the morning and listen to the Voice of Kenya . . .

Hi Folks,

July 4, 2025, yes, celebrating the birth of a nation and the principles of democracy but also a time to reflect and expand our vision as a nation to celebrate and live into a Declaration of Interdependence.

The Declaration of Interdependence expresses our values as an organization. It was written for the 1992 UN Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, where portions of our declaration were woven into the work of others around the world to form the Earth Charter.
