[Oe List ...] Order Polity document

[Sunny Walker]

Speaking of "our" permanent archive, this is a heads up. Those now living in
Chicago (Kemper Building) in the Keystone Community find themselves unclear
and unsure about ICA USA's intentions re the archives (all assurances aside,
I tend to trust those who live there such as Betty Pesek when they indicate
they are unsure).

Sunny, in Denver, recently part of the whole ICA-USA "riffing" and feeling a
little unsure myself about various intentions, especially when actions speak
louder than words.

Hi Jim and all,

 

I have an original document which has the word "for" where the Golden
Pathways has "rot".  I know I did some editing of other original documents
for the CD -- so perhaps someone other than the authors edited this document
also for the CD?  I don't know.  But if that is the case, perhaps we should
scan the original for the Repository, if that is likely to become our
permanent archive.

 

Just a thought.

 

M.

Shelley,

Here is something you can check on your documents.  Under the section III.
notice the sentence beginning "To insure a common operating context rot the
total group and..."

I don't know what "...rot the total group..." means but if the same phrase
shows up in your document, we probably all have it in the Golden Pathways
CD.

III. THE DELIBERATIVE FUNCTION

A. The Local Collegium

The local collegium is the daily gathering of all in each place for
deliberation of issues affecting the common life and mission. It occurs in
formalized structures such as breakfast collegiums and meal conversations,
as well as informal conversations with colleagues over missional issues. It
represents the deliberative aspect of the democratic or community dynamic of
corporate polity. It is the basic vehicle through which a common mind is
forged and thus is the foundational aspect of consensus.

The paramount function of the local collegium is to shape and give
expression to the consensed will of the people. Without the collegium
dynamic, the refinement of strategy and maneuvers and the building of
implementies becomes an exercise in abstraction, divorced from the
significant engagement of the people in decision making. The basic functions
of the local collegium are:

To insure a common operating context rot the total group and..."

Hi Shelley and all,
 
I just checked the Golden Pathways archive disk.  It looks like all of
Polity document is printed there.

Hi Shelley et. al,
 
This was the final and only version, although it bore the disclaimer
"working copy not for distribution."  I mistakenly typed 1976 in my
recent e-mail, when it was actually spring of 1977 when we began our
work.  The "working copy" disclaimer was put on the cover prior to
completing our work at the end of Summer '77.  We felt very accountable
to the Order and hoped to get wide and deep input.  This began with our
presentation to those gathered in Chicago at what might have been Order
Council, I don't exactly recall.  But then the agenda for us all changed
when JWM became ill and died.  The work of the Panchayat suddenly became
communicating the fact of his completed life to the Order around the
world and helping to "guard the comprehensive and defend the deeps" (as
its role was defined) during the transition year.

Wow!  Talk about one person's trash being another's treasure!  Sure
glad I 
didn't throw it away. :)
 
David, if you're willing to scan this and put it on the web, that
would be 
great.  That way everyone who wants it can access it.  I'll mail a
copy to you 
in the next day or two.
 
Will you post something to the list when you've added it to the wiki
site?  
Thanks!
 
BTW all, this document does say something like "this is a working
document; 
not for general distribution."  So it's possible it's not the final
final 
thing.  I assume folks will still find it of interest.
