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 ICA talked about a “spirit
movement did it, if so amend to include ICA’s 20th century
definition.) 

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?

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 Lake Michigan 
in '68 an other wonderful encounters. 

Best wishes, 

Ken

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.

What would be your model for
developing such a list?

This would not be my list.

Subject: [Oe List ...] A Mini-Library
for a 21st Century Spirit Movement  

As a part of our 50th anniversary celebration:

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,  

Gene
Marshall
