[Michael Shaw]

Do we send our receipts to you for reimbursement? Or will you be advancing the funds for these events? ;) 





Peace,

Subject: [Dialogue] 50th Anniversary 

Next year, 2012, is the 50th Anniversary of Joseph Mathews accepting his appointment as Dean of the Ecumenical Institute in 1962. It was this event that set in motion activities that have since resulted in the creation of national ICAs and a network of EI/OE/ICA colleagues around the world. We invite you to participate in the 50th Anniversary by hosting a local event of your design and choosing sometime during the next twelve months. An announcement, with some ideas and options, etc, has been posted on our website. It can be seen by clicking on the following link:

When I shared thoughts about this with Herman Greene during his recent visit in Chicago, he suggested that " projects to take the ICA/EI legacy forward" would be a good way to mark this Anniversary. My response was "of course," but here is the key: This is a decentralized initiative whereby people are invited to draw upon their own creativity, motivation, and local circumstances to organize something they consider to be most appropriate. We only ask that you communicate your intentions with our 50th Anniversary Team so that we can connect them into one common celebration. As you will see on the website announcement, the team is composed of Judy Lindblad, Ellen Howie, Janice Ulangca, and Ester Mae Cox. 


We look forward to see what comes forth. Best wishes, and 


Take care.
