[Dialogue] RS-1 Events

[Bill Schlesinger]

My memory was in the early 70's watching the number of RS-1 participants
drop.  We were assigned to phone banks in last ditch efforts to recruit the
course.  The weekend seminar format had pretty much run its course in the

It's interesting that some of the colleagues are still doing RSI. The 
last one I ever led was in the Jamaica House in Kingston back in the 
1980's. I later remember an old colleague who some years later told me 
that the Order goofed up by dropping RSI.  I reminded him that we never 
gave up on RSI and that we had been doing it in evey course or Human 
Development Consult we ever did. The dynamics of the Word was in 
everything we ever did. What we did do was change the language away 
from an overtly Christian idiom to a broader one because we were 
dealing more and more with the larger number of humans for whom the 
Christian language meant absolutely nothing.  This is still true.
