Once again, for the third year, we had a great group of bloggers for the conference in Maria, Maru, Mike, Isabel (transmitting from Miami - we missed you Isabel), and Guy. Thanks to all for all they did in Atlanta with their superior bi-focal vision - one eye on the proceedings and one eye on bringing you the latest of what was happening at the conference.
Also, a special thanks goes to Judi Gaitens, a Chapter Coordinator from North Carolina, for her willingness to undergo (?) my video interviews and thereby contribute to the blog - you're a natural Judi-thanks.
The blog will continue to be available to all and additional postings are forthcoming. If you wish to be notified of postings there is RSS and Twitter @centeringprayer.
Hope to see you in San Francisco at the conference next year!
Peace and blessings -
The Circle of Service is Contemplative Outreach's new approach of "contemplative governance" that was piloted during 2008-2010. At the conference on Sunday morning Ron Barnett presented on behalf of the Circle of Service a description of this approach in contrast to a "corporate" approach, its historical development and the results of the voting members recent adoption of it. Here are the visuals that were used in the presentation. (Tip: to enlarge text use + spyglass in right margin.)
