RS-1’s Amazing Staying Power I am sitting here in Washington DC at the Citizens Climate Lobby (CCL) Conference preparing to visit Congress people about a low carbon economy or as we talk about it as a ‘carbon fee and dividend, solution’ to Climate Change. We are about 800 people from around the US (just saw David Zahrt- back from his Climate March and setting up CLL chapters). So I am at the faith leaders’ dinner last night with my significant other/ partner Sally Stovall (Dick is the faith leader and Sally is the green leader). So across the table is an elder man with white hair and a full beard. His name tag says “Father John Forney, Episcopal priest from Southern California”. It turns out he is the associate pastor at the largest Episcopal Church in the US with over 4,000 members. In the midst of chatting, he asked, “ Well, what do you do or have done?” Sally says we are retired but still work with the Institute of Cultural Affairs and (brilliantly adds) which use to be the Ecumenical Institute… Immediately John’s face lights up and he Blurts out, “ RS-1!....Yes!, and I would not be here in the church if it were not for RS-1…and Joseph Mathews! In the late 60s he came to Claremont and spoke to 600 young Methodist.. just amazing!” And then the conservation gets serious about all the exciting things John is doing or has started…. The length and depth of RS-1 is exciting.. and the people out in the world engaged and making a difference because of RS-1 is wild..the Archive project should go out and find these people and see what they have done with their lives… and the word.

Maybe we could ask for input on "social contradictions" ? Perhaps we could even craft a workshop set of questions that would gestalt into current social analysis, , , , I am thinking like the "RESEARCH ASSEMBLY" was a collaborative effort at social analysis. Electronic Research Assembly? Paula On Wed, Jun 24, 2015 at 9:35 AM, Terran Longacre <tlongacre@gmail.com> wrote:

Interesting idea Teran. Here is the open access web page link that shows an image of Guernica. https://docs.google.com/document/d/16tcdWbQvmjYNMrDeBOmIQHufptDZB9lrXzn2WjL9... It is one of those kind of webpages that you can type on What kind of message would you like to add and how would you recommend distributing it? Another question. Let's say we found 200 people who -remember going to RS1 -had a story to tell about it What would you want to happen next? (if we were to do several things in a coordinated effort? What outcome would you want to accomplish? Steve On Wed, Jun 24, 2015 at 9:35 AM, Terran Longacre via OE < oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote:
