as patricia always asks, are we a community or not?

this is a community building note, the encouragement note.

re 1146.75



dolores, this file can do with a bit more wisdom. particularly 
the integrating, community building type of wisdom which women 
so often have to offer.

dolores, please share your thoughts with us a bit more often.
this file needs your input.

1153.2Thank you so much!CASDOC::CHARPENTIERTue Oct 03 1995 14:0321
    andreas,
    
    I am deeply touched by your invitation.
    Thank you.
    
    Yes, I will note when I can make the time.
    But, I think it only fair to read all replies
    before answering-- a belief that is sometimes 
    overwhelming and that limits me further.
    
    I am facing several Digital deadlines now.  
    Because I work only 30 hours (while 
    completing an grad internship), my time is 
    limited.
    
    My perspective and experience comes from 
    being a committed Catholic Christian---too 
    liberal to many Catholics and too Catholic 
    to many fundamentalists.

thank you, dolores. take all your time but *do* stick around!

.2> to many fundamentalists.

it may seem ironical, but over here in the old world the american 
roman catholics bishops have a formidable reputation for being amongst 
the most progressive amongst the catholic bishops.

european catholic bishops also like to rely on their colleagues 
across the pond to put some pressure on the vatican for more active 
involvement of women in the church!

hencer, an american conservative catholic is probably a long shot off 
an italian conservative catholic. [i know you hate to hear this joe,
it's not *all* the same, but c'est la vie! :-) ]

I wish to encourage Patricia Flanagan in her scholarly pursuits.  Knowledge
is power.

Shalom,
Richard

    Knowledge is also one of the attributes of the 7-fold Spirit of God
    (Isaiah 11) represented by the menorah.

    Thanks Richard for your encouragement.  I am amazed at what I am
    learning.  I am amazed at the path that I am on.

i am very happy to see more voices (re)appearing in C-P recently.

beth (1154.147), leslie (1122.57) and mary jo (1144.113)


please, please stay around (at least for a while) and make yourselves 
at home. this file particularly needs a stronger female bias. we need 
you in here!


thanks,

andreas.

    I think we should christen Andreas Gutzwiller with a new name; the
    name "Barnabas," which means "one who encourages."
    
    Shalom,

    How about Barney for short.  Barney encourages too! :-)

    Is your well-known disdain for Barney reflected in this suggestion, Jack?

    Actually I have had a change of heart.  We have a Barney CD and the
    kids watch it every morning.  
    
    I never really disliked him but there have been times when I wondered
    why he missed his Ritalin dose!

    I agree with Andreas,
    
    
    Its great having more women noting in here!

    That's twice I agree with Patricia today!
    
    I am deeply encouraged.  Now if we can just agree on the doctrinal
    stuff! :-)

    You just reminded me of the Reagan/Mondale debate.  When Reagan was
    asked if age would be a factor in handling the presidency, his reply
    was, "The youth of my opponent should not be considered!"  or something
    to that effect.  That was humerous!

any woman noting in here for a duration has my heart felt 
admiration.

the dominant male humour in here can be sometimes biting!
