> From e-mail to Denver colleagues by the PJD team:
> 
> Hello, everyone. . . .
> 
> We're excited about the Profound Journey Dialog event and hope to see you
> there. We know there are conflicts, but some are tearing loose from them,
> e.g., Nancy Trask in Iowa, who will drive over. Some will fly in. 
> 
> We're redoing the RS-I we led for church people in MN last winter (Beret
> and Ron Griffith did a great job of bringing that fine event off). This
> 4-session, 28-hour event is being recruited as a secular event and
> therefore will not use the church language of traditional RS-I's. 
> 
> We will spin on the four main RS-I symbols/board images during shorter
> talks. We will use four one-page papers: adaptation of Bultmann's
> paragraph 12, with 20 questions; 19 sentences from Tillich's 12th
> paragraph, with 10 questions; pull-together of Brian Stanfield's Courage
> To Be take on Bonhoeffer's "Freedom"; and substituting a Thomas Berry
> pull-together instead of Neibuhr's paper, though we allude to it several
> times during the talk. 
> 
> The big shift, besides being a more secular event in language, is emphasis
> on grounding -- using four personal journey reflections on bulleted
> formats, parts of which will be shared in small group huddles during each
> session. 
> The "huddle" was the breakthrough during the second session in MN, so much
> so that we are using it during each session. 
> 
> We are working extra hard to make this an experiment that honors the past
> and speaks to a pluriform audience.
> 
> It would be great to have some of you to come and be with us.
> 
> 	John, Lynda, and Jean
> 
> We will report to you after the event.
> 
> P.S. Thanks to Wayne Nelson for depth formats from ICA Canada we've
> incorporated, especially from "Participation Paradigm."
