Hi, Karen! Sorry I missed your call. Wanted to chat about a subject/vision/calling as listed in your letter/invite... I could call this imaginal burst of insight from Journey to the East Archives Redux. Or out of crises comes challenge, opportunity and joy!! We already have works, reflections, and imaginal products of the '9' arenas from colleagues and friends of the ICA/EI/oe (Church folk, Buddhists, Muslim?, Hindu, spirit practitioners, global-based practitioners, Guardian types, etc.) don't we?? Now, why couldn't we take the same major categories of the New Social/ Cultural Research Center to sift our gifted wheat (literary, virtual, imaginal products, tools and methods and addiJWM's vision re TRACTS.to the next level of actualization...Just think we could funnel our creativity into our past and new stuff even recruiting new authors of like-minded vision of the Resurgent World rising out of the ashes of History like the indomitable spirit of the Phoenix. The Movement of all Movements has arrived and we're right in the midst of it!! With a target right on our midsection--where the Spirit Folk nurse their hunger to transform moral contradictions of tragedy into hope and possibility for splitting the Rock of Ages on behalf of those who would be free of the shackles of bondage to old wineskins. I can also envision study groups delving into JWM's Bending History and also his dissertation for Prof. Niebuhr (and my New Human Summer Program '76 and pamphlet/addendum titled On Becoming a Practical Theologian) can't you? On that note, sign me up for No. 7! These are the Times; We are the People! Wakanda forever!! (as some of my kinfolk would say)!!! What do y'all say??? Kindfully yours, dawn P.S. I have 10 or so folks in mind to discuss/brainstorm with you and your team, Karen. Oh, and Journey to the East, JWM's dissertation and possession of a GoodNews Book and favorite chapter in Bending History, and Courage to Lead required prerequisites in dipping a preliminary toe in No. 7, ya' think??? We love the Final Reality because the Final Reality loved us first. - 1 John 4:19 On Tuesday, April 14, 2020, 02:58:10 PM MDT, Margaret Scott via OE <oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote: Count us in!

Dear Colleagues,
The Covid-19 pandemic has shifted our world, including our desire to be the new reality of the ICA Social Research Center, housing the work of sixty years of EI/ICA archives. Everything now is changed and will be different in the future. We see ourselves in dialogue with what is happening in the world today while identifying our past- archived wisdom that may be informative to the present. We want to link with the many efforts to articulate a new story, a new paradigm that is emerging for our time
From the comfort of your home and computer, you are invited to join with one or more of the collection teams during our virtual ICA Social Research Center Spring Gathering. Imagine two hour blocks of time on the collection(s) of your choice: * Overall: What is going on in the world today in this area? What do we see emerging from our experiences of the past few months? * Reviewing the collection: What questions are raised for you as we look at this collection? What are the gifts of this collection that will sustain and support the new which is being birthed? Beyond our past accomplishments, what did we learn that is informative to today? What additions and changes could be made to this collection for public understanding?
