Subject: Introducing the Repository

 

Colleagues --

This past weekend, the ICA Gathering Extraordinaire in Seattle marked the
scheduled public announcement of the OE/EI/ICA Repository.  A project that
has been a year in the making and that a number of you from six nations have
contributed to in some way, went public.  Have a look--you're all invited to
participate in this!

We pause, as we did in announcing it at this weekend's gathering, to honor
the memory of Brian Stanfield, whose contribution to the project you'll read
about on the website.  

We are not sure how many visitors our Wedgeblade server can accommodate at
one time.  If you find it slow, please be patient, or come back at another
time.  

Looking forward to your thoughts --

The Design Team

Welcome to the OE/EI/ICA Repository 


This web site is dedicated to making available the stories, materials and
forward thinking of those who have worked with OE (the Order: Ecumenical),
EI (the Ecumenical Institute) and ICA (the Institute of Cultural Affairs)
over the last five decades.)   

As we announce its birth, we pause to celebrate the completed life of Brian
Stanfield, whose work contributed much to this venture, as to so many
others.

The OE/EI/ICA Repository is ...

... a window into the history of those who have participated in the journey
of a lifetime. 

... a place for us to reconnect and interact with one another, to reminisce,
tell stories, share events and perspectives, look at photos and video,
listen to our recorded voices and singing, as well as read, share and
preserve important documents. It is not only about the past, but also about
how this legacy lives on in our knowing, doing and being today. 

It is our hope that this website will help us to more fully grasp the scope
and significance of what we were all about--and perhaps still are. By
gathering in one place materials that shed light on the events of our lives,
it may also be that members of our families will better understand some of
the decisions that we made. 

We see this as a collaboration in sharing the things we treasure about our
journey together and the ways we have benefited and learned from that
adventure. 

We don't see this as the long awaited history of our community. Perhaps it
is our Chronicles. It will surely be a resource for anyone bold enough to
take on the challenge of writing that history at some point in the future. 

This venture is clearly a work in progress. We want it to grow and are
trying to make things here as user friendly as possible. 

Come and visit: www.wedgeblade.net <http://www.wedgeblade.net/>   You'll be
glad.
