  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."
