Re: [Oe List ...] [Dialogue] Completed Life of Frank Powell
Special prayers and thoughts go to the family, and especially to Ali (Frank's daughter) during this time. I intend to help her, if I can, as she travels from Seattle to Africa. May we all have the support we need during these transitional events.

Frank was a creative and powerful presence. Our work with him and Sandy (and many others) in Mississippi in the mid-late 70s was a whirlwind of doing (1000 miles/week in the car), shaping Terry McCabe and me in ways we still are examining. Here's to his completed life, with gratitude for his being.

He endured major medical issues for several years and apparently they all caught up with him. After the Order entered into its diaspora, I worked closely with Frank for many years during the 1990s on various consulting assignments across Africa. Frank was a very creative, and often stubborn, man. I celebrate with you his completed life. Grace and Peace, Terry Bergdall
Dear friends, Thank you for letting us know about Frank. Our son Peter was here today, and remembers Frank well, as both Pete and Cathy ( our younger daughter,) were in the Sydney House at Summer Hill, when Frank and Sandy were Priors there. I remember visiting with the House, for a day or so- in ? 1978 or 9- and being impressed with the passion Frank exuded. Vale, dear one.
