[Oe List ...] Still here

Thu Oct 20 09:36:40 EDT 2011

Tracy,

Regarding whether there is a movement today, one perspective has been offered by Paul Hawken in his book Blessed Unrest in which he describes what he calls the "largest movement in the world" as follows:

...a broad nonideological movement...that does not invoke the masses' fantacized will but rather engages citizens' localized needs.  Its key contribution is rejection of one big idea in order to offer processes, concerns, and compassion.  The movement demonstrates a pliable, resonant, and generous side of humanity.  It does not aim for the utopian, but is eminently pragmatic.

About a third of Hawken's book is a listing, by category, of groups all over the world that he calls "mini-movements" that are part of this "largest movement."

Margaret Wheatley and Deborah Frieze, in their recent book Walk Out Walk On, give great examples of 7 "local" (though not necessarily "local" as in geographic) communities that fit Hawken's description and are doing what Wheatley and Frieze describe as "living the future now."  I recommend both these books for anyone who wants to know about local movements who are indeed already awakened and engaged.

For a prelim of what Wheatley and Frieze are saying, see a 5-page paper called "Taking Innovation to Scale" at www.oxfordleadership.com/journal/vol1_issue1/wheatley_frieze.pdf.

Best wishes,
Randy

PS  Though often referred to as such, I'm waiting to see if the "Occupiers" are, at least for me, what I would call a movement.  For now I'll just rely on the word of people like Rob Work and others who have been there to see first hand.

Randy,

Thanks for this whole conversation.

I agree that the movement is awake and engaged already, though I’m not sure there is a thing one could call “a movement”. It certainly looks very different depending on whether you are sitting in the North or the South, for instance. 

It occurs to me in this moment that what is needed is truth-telling. This is the fundamental power of the Occupy Wall Street (& Portland, & SF, & wherever else) actions, I think. A bunch of people that are finally standing up and saying, “are you kidding?” If I do NOT assume that a huge portion of the educated population are idiots, then I must surmise that it has become very difficult to discern basic, commonsense truth these days. 

Anyway, I think this is the right question to be asking.

Regardless of the particular Mathews may have been speaking to, he is articulating what I believe we always understood in our clearer moments, that our task was to be the "servants of the servants."  We were not the movement, we served the movement.  The question is, where do we see the movement being embodied today and how would the "servants of the servants" relate to it.  I think we would find that the movement today, in its various manifestations, is already awake and engaged and therefore requires something different of those who would serve it than it did 40 years ago.

Randy's question is well phrased. 

Visited the westside on February '66 (from Asbury Seminary in Wilmore KY) but did not really hear the "no-messiah messiah" until the '68 assassination of MLK while at SMU Perkins in Dallas, and later in the year, resolved to be a 'global citizen' with the 'earthrise' of Apollo 8 among residents of the Faith and Life Community House in Greensboro, N.C..  Finally joined EI Manila in '72 to live out the Neibuhr church dynamic in and outside (mostly) the institutional form (serendipitously on the same day that Marcos declared Martial Law in the Philippines).  The turn to the world saved my anarchic iconoclosm but I was under no illusion about 'bending history'; a two-month stint in Maharastra made it clear that whatever I did was not going to amount into anything piddly (regardless of glowing Prior reports) but that my 'sanctification' was simply the absolute freedom to decide to "just do it."

Doing it, or being the church, is both a personal resolve and a social reformulation, or as Brian Stanfield noted in his Courage to Lead, transform self, transform society.

The question then requires both a testimonial and methods-manual response.

The power of the Marshalls and the Realistic Living folks is the lucidity that one walks one talks, otherwise, it is only a head-trip.  We differ in practice only at the level of metaphors:  RL and the Marshalls still adhere to the images of the Christian witness, albeit, metaphorically translated.  I've ordered Chinese!

Clarity about the 'church dynamic,' however, is in our bones.  (Returned my Methodist ordination to CalPAC in 2002.)Am living out the dynamic with third World foreign students (mostly Moslem and Christian adherents, along with secular socialist) and Chinese students whose only sole purpose in life is "to make much money so I can take care of my folks and travel with my spouse around the world."

How am I being the church?  Ask me again in a year!  Might have a manual then. 

Meanwhile, I seem to recall giving up Occupying Main St. Methodist Church long time ago.  But no mistake about it: I am being the church!

Turning back to Randy, Bud, Karen and the rest of the listserv - might not a fruitful conversation be on what we have or are doing (knowing, too) in being the church?  As to the reason how "turn to the world" happened in the EI family - don't know and don't really care, because I did, and I am grateful.

Please allow me to raise an honest question in the midst of this conversation.  I'm not trying to ring anyone's bell.  There are two things that come to my mind out of the church section of RS-1.  One is that one of the perversions of the institutional church was/is that it had abdicated its mission to serve the world in favor of building itself as an institution--"institutionalism" I think we called it.  Second, in studying HRN's paper, The Church as Social Pioneer," we concluded that when Niebuhr used the word "church" he was pointing, not to an institutional form, but to a social dynamic.  So wherever you saw a group which "in its own thinking, organization and action...functions as a world society, undivided by race, class and national interests," (one of HRN's descriptive phrases) that was the "church" (little "c"), whether or not it had a steeple with a cross.

No doubt the institutional church is indeed still greatly in need of renewal, by some estimates, with local exceptions, maybe even "beyond" renewal.  So here's my question.  Instead of trying to renew an institution, that is clearly more burdened with dogma, ideology, hierarchy, gender-ism, etc. than most, just for the sake of the institution, why not relate to and serve those groups and communities that are already awake, engaged, creating positive change, and doing, in today's terms, what Niebuhr described then as the "church" dynamic? (I believe there are many such communities but we have to search them out.)  My assessment of the crisis created by the "turn to the world" is, we never got beyond the abstraction of "world" in order to decide in any practical sense what or who we were in fact turning to.  I sense that the national ICAs and ICAI are struggling with that issue today.

Again, I'm not grinding an axe here.  This is an honest question posed for the sake of soliciting new insights in the midst of this dialogue about a very important issue.

"the Church is at least as much in need for renewal as it was in the 1970s."   Ain't it the truf, Bud.  Those of us who are still working in ordinary local churches, those that RS1 did not reach and make an impact, can surely agree.  And the course about Progressive Christianity is a great need.  It would probably take as huge a maneuver as it took to put RS1 into history to create and disseminate such a course.

Will our beloved Christianity die, if it does not change (as Bishop Spong writes)?  And those good-hearted folks who still show up on Sunday morning to worship and study, those good-hearted women who still show up at the women's groups will probably just disappear into history.  The United Methodist Women, in their district and conference and global bodies, if not in the local churches, seem to be able to make an "end run" around theology and step forward to do justice activities.  That is why I continue to work there.

I doubt that a weekend course, or maybe any format of a teaching method, (as books, study group curriculums, etc.) will reach enough people to make a difference.  I think it will need to be something that explodes on the internet, in order to catch the attention of those who might be able to listen. 

So many seem to be able to put all of their scientific learnings into one box, and then put their faith understandings locked away somewhere else in their brains.  When people don't have to confront the difference between the two, they don't necessarily think about it. 

And those who understand that scientific understandings contradict orthodox Christianity seem as likely to just quit the church as to try to reinterpret the faith.

I'm guessing that the lack of responses to your proposal is a lack of vision, not a lack of interest from our colleagues, about how such a movement would be structured.
