It would be great and instructive to detail a bit the wider history of the RS-1 course. Apparently the 44 hours did not fall complete from heaven. I took the course in November 25-27, 1966 and returned for RS-1 Pedagogy sometime in the spring of 1967. By that time, there was a manual and the course was an amazingly crafted event. Mary Laura Jones once described her earlier experience of "RS-1" as a weekend at a camp with Joe Mathews talking.

His comments about a meeting in Detroit the summer of 1966 caught my attention. Evidently the group was discussing whether or not to use the Tillich paper in RS-1. Can you even imagine NOT having the Tillich paper in RS-1? Not going out of the church and playing the Tillich game? So, do any of you know anything about this discussion? What was the issue with the Tillich paper that was causing concern? And, if not the Tillich paper, what other paper was being discussed as an alternative? Thanks for any input you may have.
