Well David's a mystery to us too, Charles; however he is listed on page 87 of the 2011 Directory!   Bud and Jan Ames

Dear David Walters,

Where are you?
I was just speaking on skype with Paul Schrijnen who asked me, 'who is David Walters?'  
I couldn't tell him, what you 'looked' like or how old you are, or what you did with the order, or anything very much when he asked.
So, here I am, hanging out, asking you for an introduction.  My apologies to you for my forgotten remembrances.
Your sharings on the list serve have been meaningful to me, and I assume to several others.  What's to know about you?

It was pleasant to see you refer to the May1962 Time Magazine article on the CFLC just after its faculty had exploded.
Doc Wagener captured the articulation of our self-understanding well for the Time writer.

The answer to your 'mansion' question is: The Wooten Mansion. It served as the first women's residence of the CFLC.
Later, it was more well known nationally as the LAOS HOUSE, where PLCs and RS-1s and other curricula were presented and developed.  It's very special dining room was not only the lecture hall for these courses, but was the elegant space where the House Church Common Meal service was celebrated, studied, and experimented with.
In 1991 a 'retired from Cornell' Jack Lewis summoned a reunion of 40 plus former members of the CFLC for two days in that space.  It was there that he declared his common sense of his having been and, still being, 'a Christian heretic'.  There, also, he chose to share his profound admiration for the faith and life of the Dali Lama as a symbol of our faith and life continuity.

It will be good to hear from you again.
Lurking for your reply,
Al Lingo in Decatur GA.

Bishop Jim gives a better explaination in Brother Joe.
 
Here is a link ti a Time artticle from 1962 about the Cristian Faith and Life Community. Page 2 of the article has some interesting quotes. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,827348-2,00.html
 
Speaking of CFLC do any remember the building where it was located. This article describes a place called Mansion on the Hill that notes the CLFC bought it in 1953 and used it for its student dormitory. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,827348-2,00.html

What's the history of development of RS-1 -content, structure and choreography?
Did it begin with CFLC?  RR
