[Dialogue] Vatican II influences on EI-OE-ICA (David M Dunn)

[marilyncrocker at juno.com]

Hi David,

What an interesting project (or should I say "call") you are engaged in. 
I would love to hear your homily.

I can't answer your question, but perhaps can add to the conversation a
bit. When we (the then assigned Global Panchayat) completed work in
Summer 1977 on what had been a two-quarters assignment to pull together
the OE Polity Document, and gave JWM the first copy off the press, his
question was, "Is this ready for me to take to Rome?"  So he had
something in his mind re: our recognition as an historical order.  Of
course that never happened, as he died a few months later.

Jon and Maureen Jenkins, both faithful Roman Catholics, were assigned to
Rome to do some specific work with the RC Church and Orders (among other
aspects of their assignment).  Perhaps Maureen could comment on that, or
Margie Tomlinson, who later became very involved in renewal work with
Orders in the US.

I can't imagine "we" weren't influenced in many ways by the ground
breaking work of the Second Vatican Council.

Thanks for initiating this conversation.

Grace and peace,

Marilyn

For what reason does the gentleman from Denver rise with such a nuanced &

Perhaps he is writing a dissertation on the origins, practices and
theological roots on a church renewal seminar in the 20th Century? I'm
thinking a radio script might be more fun. 




Nothing quite so nuanced or arcane.


I'm offering my first homily—on the Samaritan woman at the well—this
Sunday at Church of the Holy Family in Aurora, Colorado, where Burna and
I are now active. It's an Ecumenical Catholic parish and I'm imagining
how I might trace my journey from Central Methodist Church, Lansing, MI,
through the EI of the late sixties, to the Ecumenical Catholic Communion
(ECC) of 2012.


It's a journey that includes Warriors of God, Bishop Egan, Fr. Winus
Roeten [please forgive misspelling] and Fr. Raphael Davila, Shaping the
Coming Age of Religious Life, The Way of All the Earth, all manner of
exercises, the Daily Office, and dozens of et ceteras.


But to end up drawn to a new and movemental iteration (the ECC) of an
ancient and the under-reported Old Catholic tradition is a most
surprising turn that calls for some clearer than average story
telling—not to mention self-talk. :')
