Karen,
 
Although I believe  there are many places where Fox talks about this,  the 
one that most often comes to my mind is his book The Reinvention of Work:  A 
New Vision for Livelihood for Our Time, published in 1994.  The book is  in 
three main sections which he calls I. The Great Work and the Inner Work:  
Revisioning Work; II. The Great Work and the Outer Work: Reinventing Work; 
and  III. Ritual: Where the Great Work of the Universe and the Work of the 
People  Come Together.  Hope this helps.
 
Randy

Randy, Do you have the name of a book by Matthew Fox where he deals with  
the tension between interior life and external mission?  If so, please  put 
it on this oe list.

Yep. I studied with Matt (Creation Spirituality), though he's a lot  more 
academic than me (it's the Dominican in him).

When thinking of holding the interior life and the exterior  mission in 
creative tension the names of two who appear to have done and  have written 
about it are Matthew Fox and Parker Palmer.  Randy

Yes,  methods and spirit. I was just thinking as I was riding my bike to 
work  this morning that the thing that breaks my heart about so many places I’
ve  been in Africa is the suppression of the human spirit. Oh to unleash  
that!
 
Personally,  I’ve been very drawn to “being a monk in the world” stuff. I’
m reading  Wayne Teasdale’s book at the moment. Also been reading a lot of 
Buddhism.  And in Creation Spirituality there was always this idea that 
mysticism and  activism were two sides of the same coin. From what I can see in 
the  world, it certainly is not automatic that one leads to the other, but I’
ve  seen a lot of folks who’ve gone very far or “all the way” in one 
domain,  realize the other is missing. But so often, the space to explore the  
interior and the space to explore the exterior are totally divorced from  one 
another, and so I think people feel like they are faced with the  choice of 
leaving the place that has given them so much in order to  explore the other 
realm. Or else they are simply at a loss as to how to go  about delving 
into the other area.
 
Of  course, one has to explore the interior and the exterior each on their 
own  merits and then see what they have to contribute to the other. Going 
into  the interior just to make the exterior more effective, or vice versa, is 
 just a game, not authentic.
 
All of  which is to say I love the sound of what you guys are doing and 
would love  to see what “Spirit of Facilitation” looks like.

"This  courage doesn't deny or rush past feelings of fear but lets them 
dissolve  into trust: a deep, abiding trust that your human experience is 
exactly  the experience you are meant to have; that you needn't feel shame or 
guilt  for your imperfections; that you needn't grasp for something that isn't  
coming your way, or reject what is.”

Dear Tracy

You  said "I would love to see something that combined the PJD work, ToP 
and  the community development work from the HDPs"  This ties to the work  I 
think we need to do with ourselves as ICA and our global community,  
reflecting on what we have been learning and how we intend to integrate  the new 
with the old.  I have been exploring Theory U (Otto  Scharmer) which proposes 
that to do transformative work we need to start  with deepening our 
reflection into ourselves and the reality we are  working with, and then open 
ourselves to insight.  Last January at  the US ToP gathering we were talking about 
this in the context of  facailitation, Jean Watt's said something like"We 
have always done the  interior work before we could exemplify it in the 
exterior."  I think  we need to figure out how to do it again

In Septmber Evelyn  and I were in Kenya and Zimbabwe, in both places we 
were talking about  methods and about spirit as being a key element of ICA's  
uniqueness.

In October we introduced a new version of the Spirit of  facilitation 
course which is our attempt to broach the same question in  the context of 
facilitation.  

What else is  happening?  How can we as a global community and we as ICA  
learn?

I am preparing for  a meeting next week on community development in China 
with exactly this  question, how do we introduce community development,  
leadership  development and spirit reflection at the same time.

With respect,  Larry
