A Brief History of the Order:Ecumenical by Dolores Morrill
by Beret Griffith 02 Mar '18

02 Mar '18

Del, Thank you for your kind words. It was your work prepared for a retreat on Profound Vocation, Quarter III, 1977-1978 and Collegiums on the Religious, Social and Intellectual Methods of the Order, prepared for Area New York, Quarter IV, 1977-1978 that set me off on the journey of documentation. I remember the collegiums and the retreat on Profound Vocation. My first pass at continuing your work was for my MA at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco in the early 1990's. Lyn Edwards took a lot of copies of that document with her to one of the large Order gatherings. As a part of your work, you created a chart, reproduced on page 101 of the current version of the Chronological History, that first captured me. Currently, the references in your early history will be a part of the research as we continue to select documents for the ICA Global Archives Website. So, your work was what set me off to continue the documentation. Then a huge number of colleagues helped. Thank you all. With deep appreciation, Beret

Re: [Oe List ...] CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY 2017 Revised Edition
by Del Morrill 02 Mar '18

What a fantastic job, Beret, et.al. Many years ago I attempted to pull together the first chronological history (that I was aware of at the time). It was incredibly simple and no doubt quite incomplete. At that time, there hadn’t been much interest in having our history “in writing.” It was mostly carried verbally. However, as years passed, one by one, the earliest people who carried the early history of our journey were leaving us one way or another. At the time there were only tons of file cabinets and files and no way to really adequately use them. So the chronological history was exactly that – no layout of our learnings, just dates of what happened when. And most of it came from people adding to it, from their memories. At that time, my experience of trying to figure out what happened when and who was there when it happened, and putting it into some simple timeline, taught me the enormity of what this outfit was really doing in this world; what is was accomplishing, that couldn’t fit into such a timeline. Since leaving from Chicago for Washington, I must admit I have had very little interest in what has been happening to all those files in all those filing cabinets. Now, here we have this amazing piece of work built out of the minds and experiences of so many colleagues. Managing pull it all together and to create the history you have, Beret, with such thoroughness of emphases, discoveries, learnings, etc., goes such much further than any simple timeline. The hours and hours that have gone into the archival work prefacing this book can never be truly measured. Whether I ever turn to any of its pages to use some method of other, this book is a powerful symbol, to me, of twenty years of my life and the life of my family. I, for one, can only thank you and the others, for your part in offering this treasure. Del We are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth.

MOVIE Introduction 1. Themovie is also art. 2. The Church used drama from the first. 3. Look at movie with Christian glasses on. Questions: Order questions same as in"Guernica", but add theological interpretives: Samplequestions: 1. Impressionistic: Scenes:(exterior, interior, with noise, music, settings ‑‑ different ways of asking thesame question‑‑not all need be used) Minorcharacters Linesof dialogue (Which have we left out?) Objects Symbols 2. Reflective: Symbolsfor you Whodid you like? Hate? Wheredid you see emotion on screen? Feelemotions in yourself? (anger, laughter,physical reactions) Moodat the end of the movie? Whoidentify with? (Surprised atanyone's answer‑‑surprised at any if it had been different?) (Whenapplicable --notice mood shift in the group? ‑ to make group conscious of itself) 3. Interpretive: Whatwas the movie about, in a word? Whatwas the main character's problem? Did hedeal with his problem? 4. Theological: Wherewould you point with a term like the Activity of God upon main man? Sin? TheChrist Happening in the main character's life? ResurrectedLife? (Free man? Obedient man?) Ifapplicable, one may note mood at end of movie with group's decision about whatactual situation was at end. Similaritieswith other stories? Ifgroup seems ready,‑‑What is needed, as you look at the film theologically? Conclusion: Point out that the Christian symbolsilluminate the way life actually is and give us the tools to be self‑consciousto the human happening and to humanness, authentic and inauthentic. Purpose: To provide the group the opportunity to groundtheir theological understanding in the concretions of the movie drama and,therefore, in their own lives. Thepedagogue is not out to get the group to agree with his analysis, but to helpthem become clear on what reality in life, portrayed on this film, they wouldpoint to with the key theological symbols of the faith. Their answers must be reflected back to themin such a way as to generalize again from the specifics used as illustration togive them self‑conscious clarity on what they mean. The game, "Guess what I think the Christ‑eventis" must be avoided. Jim Wiegel “That which consumes me is not man, nor the earth, nor the heavens, but the flame which consumes man, earth, and sky."

FYI: Film "Atomic Homefront" free to watch through March 18
by Ellie Stock 01 Mar '18

01 Mar '18

Hi Folks, Greetings from St Louis! This is the documentary film in which Carleton Stock has a 5-10 second cameo appearance--about the Westlake Landfill that is contaminated with radio active waste and being threatened by an underground fire from a neighboring landfill in Bridgeton. It was shown on HBO a couple weeks ago. The Westlake Landfill is a few miles from us and we have attended meetings about the issue. The EPA recently made a decision to partially remove the waste, but residents say that is not enough. Perhaps you have had similar environmental issues where you live. Another good documentary dealing with local communities' trying to address environmental issues is "We the People 2.0". Also just rediscovered: "Seventeen Principles of Environmental Justice," written by the First People of Color Environmental Leadership Summit in 1991--still very relevant: www.ejnet.org/ej/principles.html Ellie :) elliestock(a)aol.com from Union of Concerned Scientists. In case you haven't seen it yet: Please be sure to watch the film Atomic Homefront, which can be viewed for free now through March 18, 2018 on HBO’s website.

Re: [Oe List ...] Update on Heidi Holmes

Wonderful news. Jeanette, it gives me such a sense of community knowing that you and others surround her on our behalf. Thank you for that. And please pass on our blessings and good wishes for continued improvement. Del (and Justin too) From: OE [mailto:oe-bounces@lists.wedgeblade.net] On Behalf Of Jeanette Stanfield via OE Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2018 5:33 PM To: Order Ecumenical Community <oe(a)lists.wedgeblade.net> Cc: Jeanette Stanfield <jstanfield(a)ica-associates.ca> Subject: [Oe List ...] Update on Heidi Holmes This update comes from Heidi and her family. They asked me to post it on this list serve. Update on Heidi Since we wrote many things have changed with Heidi - generally for the better. So we felt it would be helpful to update you on the current situation. Heidi has recovered much of her cognitive skills. She is quite alert and if it were warmer, I think she would be out walking and going to events. About a month ago she decided to stop taking the estrogen blocker as she felt there were too many side effects from it. Since that time she has been more engaged. She is staying up later in the evening and sleeping better at night. She has more energy and is more engaged in visiting with people. The art therapist has been working with her to develop a new painting style by he;ping her move with more of her body. She is responding well to the challenge. Her right ear is blocked and has less hearing. She is still being visited by her group of friends on a regular basis. These visits provide great stimulation that keep her engaged and thinking new thoughts. She has picked up some reading again. She is even reading and responding to emails. Heidi has a good palliative team around her and appreciates the doctor and nurse who visit regularly. She has cut back on the Support Worker visits as she is able to do more on her own. She has become more proactive in setting her own daily activities. Rachel has moved in with her. Given the expanded cognitive skills, she and Heidi have been having conversations on how they live together and how Rachel can best support Heidi in her ongoing journey. Rachel watches for changes be they positive or negative, short or long term. We are operating from the understanding that the prognosis has not changed and with great gratitude for these new developments. Thank you for the cards and notes you have sent. They have been much appreciated. Grace and Peace, Jeanette
