[Oe List ...] Development of RS-1

Wed Aug 10 16:38:42 EDT 2011

I've meant to weigh in briefly on "who is David Walters." I got a phone call
from him near the beginning of the great debacle (October 2006 - known also
as the great whacking, the kerfuffle, the formation of the Institute of
Something Else.etc.). I didn't know him from Adam (or Eve for that matter,
though clearly both were involved somewhere back there long before
Georgia!). But I "KNEW" him - a good ole boy from the south per his lovely
and familiar accent, but on the other hand, one clearly upset and "hot to
trot to get some different outcome" kind of colleague.

The phone call came at a time when I needed to hear support from someone I
didn't know and yet "KNEW" at the level of interior angst and "we're in the
same trench here." Deep thanks, David.

No, I am not George Walters' son. However, somewhere in the early 1800s our
forebearers were in Georgia. One part of the family left for north Florida
and George descends from them. Another branch wound up in sout Alabama where
I now live. This makes kin us somehow but I now not quite sure how to state
it - maybe fifth cousin seven times removed. Otherwise I think Georg is a
real great guy who publishes fine books.

When I have seen David's name, I have assumed that this is David, the son of
Carol and George.  Maybe I'm wrong.

This is a real mystery.  I thought I was familiar with just about everyone
from the early days, but I don't have any image or memory of a David
Walters.  Do you think he really exists?  Perhaps it's another colleague
using a false name so they can speak without people judging.  We need to get
to the bottom of this!

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.

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