[Dialogue] work in Dallas in the past?

[Marge Philbrook]

In the early 80s, my husband Phil requested the Bishop to assign him to a
church that might close in Dallas. We moved to Dallas and he joined with 4
other churches.  Because he believed that you can do anything if you don't
care who gets the credit, the project thrived and all 5 churches began to
gain membership.  Phil chose one clergyman to lead all the meetings.  He
has been a pastor of the church for 16 years  and was feeling hopeless.
Together they did events in all of the organizations in that part of
Dallas.  They were pre-the name Top and were organized like our facilitated
programs, for example the Town Meeting.  Vision - blocks - proposals to
remove the blocks, and people who had no "power" did the work.  Phil hired
George Holcombe to manage the project in East Dallas, funded by money
donated by another Methodist church.  All five churches focused on
different issues, like on was elders, one was preschool, one was Mexican,
etc. etc.  So - in those years there could have been talk about the
Institutes and so forth.   Let me know if I need to provide more
information. Marge Philbrook, archivist.
