By the way, someone challenged me recently that even seemingly insurmountable obstacles can be overcome by doing things very simply (getting to the heart of things - focusing on our commonality rather than our differences) and by doing things person to person. Best wishes too for you and all your family, Leo Michael, a picnic in the park with music, food, and prayer sounds great!

First, here's the vision. "In His Name." its a jamboree/picnic in the park that ALL the municipal churches organize. It is a God event. A celebration on Sunday afternoon, once a year, where all the Christian church communities come together representing themselves with their music, their food, their faith, and their praise. Second, it really derives from another vision. A Rosary...is held together by the humble unobtrusive string, with knots to! Cut the string and the beads fall off. A box of beads with no string is what we are now. We have no string to unite us and make us a pleasing offering to God. The string is what is lacking. The string that unites us. It is some sort of corporation. "The All Christian Churches United" corporation that works to run this event in the park...(for starters!- maybe more later) Leo, I have found that differences in faith cannot be overcome by dialogue. However, common action unites. Something as simple and as general as being together in the park, each community retaining and celebrating its charism, to honor God. "In His Name." I am so poor that I have no resources...I am floundering in what I have already taken on. I was thinking of talking to a priest so that I have a "touch-base" to work with, maybe a Benedictine monk, rather than a parish priest, who might get transferred.... Need to set up a steering committee and get some stuff printed up...oh, it all becomes so much. But by keeping it municipal, at least it has one common element in place, and a limiting edge. I think if it could happen, with some nice media coverage, it might could spread all over the place....and stop the chastisement that God has just about all prepared for the USA. How about a Dauphin Island "In His Name" day !? :-) Best Wishes Mike Miller Hi Leo,
it just happens to be Thanksgiving Day…so happy Thanksgiving !

but I have been struggling with what to do with a vision that is coming clearer and clearer into view…and this article you have written intersects with that vision (and even makes me think you might be seeing it too!).

First, here’s the vision. “In His Name.” its a jamboree/picnic in the park that ALL the municipal churches organize. It is a God event. A celebration on Sunday afternoon, once a year, where all the Christian church communities come together representing themselves with their music, their food, their faith, and their praise.

Second, it really derives from another vision. A Rosary…is held together by the humble unobtrusive string, with knots to! Cut the string and the beads fall off. A box of beads with no string is what we are now. We have no string to unite us and make us a pleasing offering to God. The string is what is lacking. The string that unites us. It is some sort of corporation. “The All Christian Churches United” corporation that works to run this event in the park…(for starters!- maybe more later)

Leo, I have found that differences in faith cannot be overcome by dialogue. However, common action unites. Something as simple and as general as being together in the park, each community retaining and celebrating its charism, to honor God. “In His Name.”

I am so poor that I have no resources…I am floundering in what I have already taken on. I was thinking of talking to a priest so that I have a “touch-base” to work with, maybe a Benedictine monk, rather than a parish priest, who might get transferred….

Need to set up a steering committee and get some stuff printed up…oh, it all becomes so much. But by keeping it municipal, at least it has one common element in place, and a limiting edge. I think if it could happen, with some nice media coverage, it might could spread all over the place….and stop the chastisement that God has just about all prepared for the USA. How about a Dauphin Island “In His Name” day !? :-)

Her books for the next semester have been arriving and I have been reading them. Mostly they get me very upset because the ones I have seen tend to be strongly oriented toward population reduction - human population. They also lean strongly toward a fascist-like use of government power to bring change as quickly as they claim it is needed...like a war crisis. Maybe environmental degradation is already that far along. But I was looking for more human-friendly solutions, and looked at the Buckminster Fuller Foundation page. http://challenge.bfi.org/solutions/all/0/2011 and this year's winner's work project. And I thought it was so very interesting I wanted to share it on this site. http://www.managingwholes.com/village/vmen.pdf Makes me think that an ISLAND is a WHOLE thing and can be managed holistically, like in this winning project....hmmm Pax, Mike Miller Our eldest daughter, Natalia, is exploring Environmental Sustainability Activism as a major in college, Drew U.
