Beautiful statement.  Thanks, Marge.

Yesterday I waited on Sheridan Road in front of 4750 to pick up my Mom,
Marge Philbrook. 

Just in front of the brass entrance way sat a large moving truck
reminiscent of the courtyard at assignments time.   I pondered the
International Conference Centers' weekend schedule from a number of
years ago:  US Socialist Network, Carmelite's National Urban Retreat,
Chicago Paganism Workshop, and First Baptist Church Louisville.  (While
waiting for the elevator, I overheard a young man with a Southern
accent,  "I did not know there were any pagans alive today.  I thought
that was from the history book". I laughed silently as I boarded the
elevator with the group caring their pillows.) 

People, I did not recognize, loaded the mattresses and bunks. The Girls
Scouts were picking them up.

The Ecumenical Institute's mission to maintain a center of ecumenicity
seemed to be disappearing as the mist dissolves with the morning light.


History continues to be changed by small groups of caring people who
hear the word, discern the judgment and lead society. Where is the
injustice? What is the social act of repentance?
