Order: Ecumenical, EI, ICA Colleagues & Friends,

Less than a week after Dad’s passing, his whole-life memoir is now available on iUniverse: THE MAKING OF A RELIGIOUS RADICAL, by Gene Wesley Marshall. For an author-approved Order-inspired visual chart of the book, see my Substack post, The Book of My Father, from a couple weeks ago. 

All the Marshall kids, Wayne Marshall, Kathy Marshall, Eva Teresa Marshall, and I, as well as Dad’s wife and our step-mom, Joyce Marshall, contributed our edits at Dad’s request. It’s a good read with some surprises even to me. 

Having published IRON BOY earlier this summer, it’s a similar but different POV (point of view) on some of the same events and times from the father and son. Interwoven Order Adults and Order Kids perspectives. Love, you Dad! 💕

Thank you Jack and Louise for the tribute to Gene Marshall and Larry Ward.  They were indeed giants of the Spirit Movement while in the Order and afterwards.  Ellie and I, with other colleagues, joined an inspiring memorial for Larry Ward last night in the Buddhist mode.

Hello,

 

We stand in deep gratitude for the lives and dedication of Gene and Larry.  Giants as teachers and spirit gurus, they allowed the order to learn and grow.  How we have benefitted from their gifts, so freely offered.  Words are so inadequate….

 

We send profound sympathy and love to their families and friends.  

 

In thanksgiving,

Jack and Louise Ballard
