[Oe List ...] NPR the story of two Illinois people and their faith

Ruth, Len, and colleague
    I recently came across a   paperback biography, Hillary Cllinton: The 
Inside Story by Judith Warner (1993, updated in 1999).   I bought it precisely so 
I could find out if her involvement with RS-1 (which some colleagues had 
mentioned years ago) was direct or second-hand through her church.   
    Chapter 2:   The author interviewed the Rev. Don Jones, "a Methodist 
minister fresh out of Drew University Theological School who had just been 
assigned to the Rodhams' church, First Methodist, to work with the parish's 
teenagers..."   He brought the kids to the inner-city and mentions Hillary and her 
friends' babysitting involvement with migrant workers who lived in farmlands near 
Park Ridge.     
    "Jones had studied under Tillich and had been exposed to creative new 
methods of relating theology to art and culture.   He took these teachings with 
him to Park Ridge, where he exposed the high school kids to Picasso, e.e. 
cummings, and Stephen Crane. ... screened films like Requiem for a Heavyweight...." 
  What then follows is an art form conversation on Guernica.
    Interesting.
