[Oe List ...] a talking paper on being an order of secular religious in 2...

You have indeed struck a nerve of mine.  My current association with  the 
Network of Spiritual Progressives comes closest to the "being" pole that I  have 
experienced since the OE went stealth.
 
I do not have a blue shit in my closet, and I never did appropriate the  
silver ring on the right hand.  Maybe that would be a place to start.
 
The local church and its denominal and ecumenical affiliations are simply  
"elementary 'doing' practice".  They are seemingly hopelessly mired in  "Jesus 
died so I can have a happy life".
 
I just finished editing an 87 page "members manual" for the NSP.  I'd  be 
happy to share either the draft or the finished product for those who would  like 
to explore this organization.  It pretty much mirrors The Left  Hand of God, 
but with much more "operational" direction.
 
The major departures of NSP from our OE/IE/ICA operation are:
    *   Welcoming divergent approaches to the NSV and to spiritual  practices 
    *   Welcoming public exposure.
 
Time will tell if this is good strategy
