FW: UNLADYLIKE2020's Last Month of New Releases! -
by Lynda C 05 Aug '20

05 Aug '20

I haven’t read all this, but it appears something is on tonight. This is the work that Adam Lingo helped film. Something must have been on Good Morning America today. Read carefully to discover more.

[https://mcusercontent.com/7ac0586f8a3a7248f35b91c56/images/ca7ecf72-6acc-44…] Our last two films will tell the inspiring stories of American Indian composer, author and civil rights activist Zitkála-Šá/Gertrude Simmons Bonnin (releasing August 19), interviewing modern-day counterpart and Standing Rock Sioux historian, LaDonna Brave Bull Allard, and of newspaper editor, civil rights crusader, and the first African American woman Vice Presidential candidate Charlotta Spears Bass (releasing August 26), featuring Pulitzer Prize winning reporter for The New York Times Magazine, Nikole Hannah-Jones. Behind the Scenes: What Does "Unladylike" Mean to You? In an interview with Good Morning America released today, UNLADYLIKE2020 co-host Julianna Margulies admitted that she has always been a little unladylike, inspired by her grandmother, who graduated from the NYU School of Law in 1924, and more recently, by all the women profiled in the series. Margulies said that for her "unladylike" means being powerful, adding, "the more educated you are in the history of the women's struggle, whether you're a woman or a man, the more peaceful our coexistence is going to be together." Here's<https://unladylike2020.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7ac0586f8a3a7248f…> the full interview.

Living Tributes for Marianna Bailey
by Lawrence Philbrook 05 Aug '20

05 Aug '20

Dear Marianna and Trish My prayers and thoughts to you both. I don’t know what to say Marianna and Bill were with me in two transformational periods in my life. I met them in 1970 so exactly 50 years ago. I worked and lived with them in 1971-72 and 1975-76. First in Washington DC for my senior year in high school when I became an RS1 teacher. Marianna was always the serious presence never angry but always in charge. Bill was my wise elder. They seemed to be holding the space for change and possibility that they could see but I could only feel. The second time in Oklahoma City when I decided I was ready to be assigned as an adult. I was now 21 and as I pondered the future I was lucky to have the Baileys again to support and challenge me. It was 1975 and the EI was going through many changes as turn to the world really was happening - the local church experiment was alive and well in OKC but so was the Town Meeting Campaign, Marianna is always for me grounded presence. She has been in a study group for years with Dick West who is my colleague here in Taiwan so every few weeks Dick would tell me a story about Marianna From that time to this she and they have been on my meditative council as two people I often talk to Bill a. With love and respect, Larry

The Gifts of Marianna
by John Ballard 05 Aug '20

05 Aug '20

Dear Marianna, When we came to the Washington DC house at 4th and Rhode Island, NE, the old Discalced Carmelite Monastery building, surrounded by a cemetery, we were assigned to a room across the hall from Jim, Karen and baby Jonathan Troxel. Since we were pregnant with our own baby (soon to be Christopher), we appreciated our neighbors who helped us settle in. That was January 1971. By August, 1971, new leadership was assigned to our DC house and we met Marianna and Bill Bailey for the first time. The first thing that struck me was the nearly instantaneous set up of the room across the hall. With energy and decisiveness, Marianna and Bill had that space ready to go in a day. Pictures hung, décor set up and all. I realized there was a force in the house to be reckoned with! Marianna and Bill were amazing priors, thoughtful leaders, helpful parents to new ones like us. We felt cared for, more than anything, by the spirit maturity that these two inseparable priors brought to us. Marianna, remember the walls of the Great Hall that were covered in burlap to prevent the walls crumbling. Thanks to the Newkirks and many, many other DC colleagues and staff, this massive project made it possible to have a huge meeting space in the basement just down the hall from the kitchen and just past Larry Philbrooks room. By the following year, you were reassigned and so were we. Life was good in the Washington DC house. I believe that Lynda and John Cock followed you and Bill. Im sure someone else will tell the stories of Oklahoma 100. I was grateful to spend a month in Oklahoma City doing in-kind donations in preparation for that gigantic campaign of Town Meetings. Marianna, we are so grateful for your long life of steadfast dedication to care for all and care in the local. May you feel blessed at this time and journey on, journey on. Gods grace and peace be with you, Louise and Jack Ballard

Living Tributes for Marianna Bailey.
by Lynda C 05 Aug '20

05 Aug '20

Dear Colleagues, At the request of Tom and Tricia Bailey, I’m sending out this note and asking for memories and stories, poetry, songs and prayers of care for Marianna. Marianna has been diagnosed with a painful cancer and has entered Hospice at the Deerfield Assisted Living in Asheville, NC. Please send e-mails that the family will share with her to Tricia and Tom at Tricia.bailey813(a)gmail.com<mailto:Tricia.bailey813@gmail.com>. Tricia’s cell phone is 828-782-0644. Marianna has stopped all other medication, so Trish requests that replies be made soon. John and I were never assigned with the Baileys, except at lots of councils and summer programs, but a special kinship developed because of our common Mountain Heritage. They were from Mt. Airy, NC, and John’s home was just over the mountain in Galax, VA. After we both retired from our global travels, we’ve enjoyed a meaningful relationship as NC neighbors again. Marianna’s gracious southern manner is matched by a fierce resolve to be a powerhouse of care and action in whatever she touches. That same resolve is seen in her decision to have no more testing or treatments. She and Bill received a wonderful formal recognition by the city of Asheville for their devoted work with Asheville communities and the environment. I will have to share that article with you later. We send care to Tom, Lynn and Nan and their families as they care for their dear mom in her farewell journey. Marianna, you are loved! Journey on with Grace and Peace, Lynda and John Cock Davidson, NC

Dear Marianna, Nan, Tom and Lyn, We send our love and compassion to you at this time of transition. The most recent memories are our visits to Ashville or the years. We were fascinated with the life, care and community you were creating. Your sparks of creativity were still brilliantly shining. Perhaps you can envision all of us surrounding you, providing a send-out into the Final Mystery.

Suzanne and I left Oklahoma before you and Bill came but we returned in 1985. You had spearheaded the Oklahoma 100 Campaign, the pilot for turning every county Gold. Plus, it was a model for the Global Town Meeting that had a significant impact on the places we were assigned. One never knows the ultimate impact or the success of what we do but I must say that the list of sponsors in Oklahoma for that Campaign showed an amazing power and interconnectedness of the entire State at that time. Everywhere I have gone in Oklahoma since 1985, I encounter someone who knows, remembers, and asks about the Baileys. So, you’ve been gone from Oklahoma for many years but your labor and care still underlies the harsh façade of what is now considered a very red state. We are grateful to you for what you have done here and “here” is only one place among many. Peace be with you and Bill, and Tom, Lyn, and Nan. We think of you often.

[Dialogue] Living Tributes for Marianna Bailey.

Dear Marianna, Our connections with you and Bill have mainly been during summer programs in Chicago, but we have always appreciated your leadership and the way you and Bill worked together--your calm presence, sticking with the task, and your sense of humor.

Bill and Marianna were always high among my role models for demonstrating elements of a missional marriage. Three details in this regard always stood out for me — one had to do with shared purpose and values. Without it, they told me, it ain’t gonna happen. The other two were reinforcements of each other. First: as Bill looked at Marianna with a smile and a twinkle in his eyes, I vividly recall him saying “there always has to be a genuine ‘SPARK!” …. and due to theirs, they decided to elope! Much thanks, Marianna, for the inspiration you’ve been.

Marianna has been diagnosed with a painful cancer and has entered Hospice at the Deerfield Assisted Living in Asheville, NC. Please send e-mails that the family will share with her to Tricia and Tom atTricia.bailey813(a)gmail.com. Tricia’s cell phone is 828-782-0644. Marianna has stopped all other medication, so Trish requests that replies be made soon. John and I were never assigned with the Baileys, except at lots of councils and summer programs, but a special kinship developed because of our common Mountain Heritage. They were from Mt. Airy, NC, and John’s home was just over the mountain in Galax, VA. After we both retired from our global travels, we’ve enjoyed a meaningful relationship as NC neighbors again. Marianna’s gracious southern manner is matched by a fierce resolve to be a powerhouse of care and action in whatever she touches. That same resolve is seen in her decision to have no more testing or treatments. She and Bill received a wonderful formal recognition by the city of Asheville for their devoted work with Asheville communities and the environment. I will have to share that article with you later. We send care to Tom, Lynn and Nan and their families as they care for their dear mom in her farewell journey. Marianna, you are loved! Journey on with Grace and Peace, Lynda and John CockDavidson, NC _______________________________________________ Dialogue mailing list Dialogue(a)lists.wedgeblade.net http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/dialogue-wedgeblade.net _______________________________________________ Dialogue mailing list Dialogue(a)lists.wedgeblade.net http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/dialogue-wedgeblade.net
