Subject: [Oe List ...] Research at Oklahoma City University


During the past several months you have probably heard about ICA-USA's 
increasing work with Oklahoma City University (OCU). Details are now in 
place for a major event this coming summer.

ICA-USA is co-sponsoring a research conference with OCU and its Oikos Honors 
Program on July 12-14, 2010. This year’s event will be followed by three 
similar annual conferences during 2011-1013. The purpose is to develop 
curriculum, both for use in the classroom and beyond, to prepare university 
students, and others, to respond to the moral responsibilities and spiritual 
implications of twenty-first century global challenges.

This has come about because of the university’s interest in 45 years of 
social engagement symbolized by the EI/OE/ICA Archives. This is an 
opportunity for ICA constituents (both old colleagues and new faces) to 
ensure that our institutional wisdom and experience is expanded upon and 
practically incorporated into new educational undertakings. There is a 
potential for ICA to be involved in virtual classroom courses, intern 
placement programs, and academic research based on the EI/OE/ICA Archives. 
This later point especially underscores the importance of the current work 
on the Archives taking place this month in Chicago.

Please take a look at the e-brochure attached and consider registering to 
attend the conference this summer. Work will be convened around three 
themes:  Peace, Poverty, and Planet Earth. Between now and July, preparation 
will be occurring in the each of the three and we urge everyone -- those 
cannot attend as well as those who can -- to be involved in the 
pre-conference discussions. Contact the following coordinators for more 
information about preparation work for each theme. Peace: Jim Stovall 
j_stovall at site.net or Jim Wiegel jfwiegel at yahoo.com. Poverty: Bill and 
Marianna Bailey bailey03132 at charter.net or Jan Sanders 
janetasanders at hotmail.com. Planet Earth: Bruce Texley texley at sbcglobal.net.

Oklahoma is the place to be in July! I hope you can join us.

For those of you who can, you may also wish to come a few days early to 
participate in a “Mindfulness Retreat” conducted by Larry and Peggy Ward. It 
will take place July 9-11 near Oklahoma City, For more information, contact 
Pat Webb at the Silence Foundation by email, webbpat1 at cox.net, or phone at 
405-286-0091 or 209-7117. Lodging on Sunday night can be coordinated with 
your stay for the conference on July 12-14 on the OCU campus.
