Thank you Brian..as you know I have immediate use of this book with a group of churches here in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia who are dealing with several changes that are straining their organizational capacities. This little collection of stories will be of great use to us as we work together to learn about and practicing new forms of leadership, participatory and self-organizing.<div>

Lovely stuff Brian. You have set a precedent to open space in hitherto
unthought of places,<br>
and not only in your Church. <br>
<br>
I look forward to exploring this further with you at WOSonOS in Taipei
shortly.<br>
<br>
Go well<br>

<p><span style="font-size:10pt" lang="EN-US">Dear
All</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt" lang="EN-US">If
you are interested, I have e-published (I think) a book about the
application
of Open Space in the parish where I live and am Parish Priest in
Melbourne,
Australia.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt" lang="EN-US">The
e-book is titled “THE NEW PARISH PRIEST”.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt" lang="EN-US">Nothing
serious – just the story (or stories) of how this remarkable
transformation has
emerged within a Church structure that is so generally seen as top-down
and
hierarchical and inflexible and all that. And it is working very well,
IMHO.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt" lang="EN-US">The
reference is:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9pt;color:rgb(48, 48, 48)" lang="EN-US"><a href="http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/the-new-parish-priest/7662108" target="_blank"><b>http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/the-new-parish-priest/7662108</b></a></span><span lang="EN-US"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt" lang="EN-US">And
it carries the serious charge of US$5.00 for the fun of it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt" lang="EN-US">Thought
you might like to know.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt" lang="EN-US">Cheers
and blessings, Brian</span></p>
