Wonderful video conference last night on Laudiato Si Chapter 1

it was serious fun - inquiry... and we laughed some too. It wasn't EXACTLY like being there in person studying together....but it is getting darn close Break-out Session Inquiry Last night, I was in a break-out group with Jim Stowall from Oklahoma City last night for the Laudato Si on a video link.The two of us were "pair partners" to look at a particular segment of the Pope's letter about our "Common Home". The section Jim and I were to work on was: "The Loss of Bio-diversity" Paragraphs 32-42. It is a hot topic in in the oceans, in my small river community on the St. Croix where 100 years ago people clear cut the 1st growth forest for logs and in Costa Rica where United Fruit wanted to make Banana Plantations from unsustainable land. We look WAY too serious in the photo...thinking about our own "bio-diversity" experience. See Jim and Steve Studying Bio-Diversity loss here: https://goo.gl /photos/6eb2Xtkax2EgRB73A Chapter Guide Kathy McGrane was the guide for Chapter 1. See Photo click here: https://goo.gl/photos/YWUHGjxsaVpUgWNV7 <https://goo.gl/photos/YWUHGjxsaVpUgWNV7> She is a splendid patient guide with mental models, new technology and Baby Boomers too. 1st she guided us around her Chapter chart and asked us to go to work on segments in small breakout groups and try to get at the heart of the matter. Then we got back together as a whole group and shared insights. Lurking is Allowed If you want to "lurk" the conversation via text and see the charts you can do that here at Trusted Sharing -just register your name and email https://www.trustedsharing.com/Jfwiegel/798. If you want a copy of the pdf document you can get one there and you can see the schedule for other meetings. There was a group of 3 people in Puna who's local internet failed just before the video link. Hope they check-out the Trusted Sharing session notes and join us for the next chapter of Laudato Si. Maybe you will too? Have a Compelling Question to Share with our Study Group What's YOUR best question for our study group to consider the theme is...care for our common home, our global-local world? Got an interesting community story of bio-diversity challenge to share with Jim and I? Hope so... -- Steve Harrington
