Thanks for the reminder, George. BTW, was it you who originated the line: "When in Doubt, Intensify!"? A myth I heard at Academy 30 years ago has it, that the quote "sprouted" out from somewhere in the outbacks of Down Undah.

We used to say:
1. Humor is better than seriousness.
2. Yes before no
3. Phariseeism more dangerous than libertinism
It's interesting that the World Council of Churches has now introduced consensus making as its form of decision making and that the United Methodist Church in its reorganization as a global church is looking at adapting that too at the next General Conference.
Wouldn't it be a pity if we forgot what we pushed into history along with others, and if what defined us is what we choose to remember about our past and what offends us about others.
Could it be we are being challenged to learn how to use email as a significant way to push us into the future?
