"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of
the oppressor."
~ Desmund Tutu.
Without compassion, what hope?    Q: Is there any cause for optimism?  A:
Well, personally, yeah. Everybody's got a life to lead and they've got a
bodhisattva tendency, everybody wants to do good, so I just think on a
personal level, yeah. On a larger scale, there doesn't seem to be any hope
unless compassion becomes a more widespread important teaching on how to
live. Compassion to self and others.–Allen Ginsberg, from "Spontaneous
Intelligence: An Interview with Allen Ginsberg," Tricycle, Fall 1995
There are those who do not realize
that one day we all must die.
But those who do realize this
settle their quarrels.

I'm completely occupied with trying to the make the OE/EI/ICA "entire"
archives available for the world to be able to find.  We are
organizing files, processing them for long time archival preservation
and scanning them for distribution to whoever wants them. Our files
are 1954-present.  So far, we have been able to find almost everything
any one asks for in hard copy documents, pictures, slides, posters,
recordings, cassettes, etc. etc.  We have quite a bit of Christian
Faith and LIfe material also.  I was never in the CFL. My husband now
deceased was a campus pastor. sent students to CF&L, had studied with
Joe Mathews in seminary and we were will the Institutes beginning in
'65.  So, I'm so glad to hear that the material sent to Wesley is
being worked with. I'm also glad to know people are still remembering
the LCX. Bud, for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, I suggest you search on
line for EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and learn to tap away your
problems.  Marge Philbrook, msphilbrook at gmail.com.  My grandson, Leroy
Philbrook and his two greats live in Nelson in England. I don't come
there often. Grace and Peace, Marge
