Great. Still looking for the names of the
books that were in the briefcase library.

Mini-Library for a 21st Century Spirit Movement

Here you go. Marianna Bailey sent this to me
some time ago
Does anyone have the
list of the 20 or so books we said were the key books back in the 60s? Please
send it out. I suggest that everyone
put up books on this list and we will collect them. In true Order fashion,
it would be helpful if you not only give a book, but maybe a short
description of what is in it, why it is important for you and how it has
impacted your life, and why you believe it is a key book for a 21st
century spirit movement. You might also say what you think a 21st
century spirit might be. Would it be fair to say
that our spirit movement was Christian, we called everyone to renew their
churches, go on an internal spirit journey, become detached from their
possessions, and either work in a local church parish to bring about social
justice or join the order? If that’s not a good description of what it was,
offer your description of EI’s 20th century spirit movement. (I
don’t think It’s interesting how we
thought our context--all the world’s people—was completely comprehensive, and
we actually left out all of nature, and maybe a lot of the world’s people, such
as homosexuals. What do you think? Well, we’re getting
old. We can think back and reflect on these things, and maybe in doing so, we
can start something new. Who knows?

Behalf Of I would be interested in what you and others
would put on such a list. So also please send the names of a few books you
would put on the list. Dear Herman, Of course, in my humble opinion and experience, I
would start with all of Joe's writings, all of Gene's writings and all of
Brian Stanfield's writings. These, I admire greatly, and, with which I
find sustenance. I am very keen about Priscilla's as well. Remembering our times at Best wishes, Ken On 2012-08-09, at 9:10 PM, Will respond but may
take a week or so. I received an email from Gene and he said he was
developing a list for descendants of Joe Matthews. That casts some light on
why he chose the books he did. I looked at the heading
“A Mini-Library for a 21st Century Spirit Movement” and didn’t see
that as calling for books from our people but rather as books we would choose
if we were again going to build the essential library for a 21st
Century Spirit Movement. So when I respond I will be thinking about the books
that have come to mean a lot to me and guide me in the 21st
century. I would be interested
in what you and others would put on such a list. So also please send the
names of a few books you would put on the list. Herman From: oe-bounces@lists.wedgeblade.net

A Mini-Library for a 21st Century Spirit Movement
Dear
Old Colleagues and New Acquaintances, I want
you to have and reflect upon the following reviews of some of the visionary
writing that expresses our common experience. My hope is that this overview
can generate additional commonality and consensus building among us.
For a
viable and flourishing humanity on planet Earth and a
vital resurgence of Christian practice, _______________________________________________
