Ken's article is an important document in understanding the legal problems that our Community had with the city. In the mid-70's this was a huge issue, not only in the community, but in the city of Chula Vista. Many people, including some who supported us, believed that we just didn't care about legality or legitimacy. We never started out to cause problems. This is an interesting article setting forth our early history.
These were heavy times, particularly for those of us who were a part of the leadership. We were dealing with things that could drastically change our lives. Were we going to go to jail? Was the community going to be forcibly evicted?
Harry Orgovan who has been seen earlier in OLT comments on happiness. Then Larry Clark comments on meeting God in every day life. As usual, Larry presents a well written and interesting article.
Bud Miller continues to update us on the progress of his (and his team's) ministry in Wichita. Here again we see our ministry outside of our area and outside of our denomination; working with the Mennonites.Linda Frey writes a nice article of becoming healed through her awareness of being a real child of God. Linda was the daughter of Wallie and Louise Gray who were leaders in the church even before Ken arrived. She is still married to Leonard Frey who served as an elder for several years. They now live in the LA area.
I remember very well when Clay discussed "frog kissing." This sounds like a great ministry. We didn't always call it that, but this is very much at the heart of what it meant to live in community.I will discuss McFoone when it actually appears in a few issues.
My daughter, Robin, was a joyful handmaid. I suppose I was at this meal although I have no memory of it. I can only identify a couple of the people in the pictures, even though I knew them all -- it was a long time ago. I see Dolan Wolford for sure (the one with the beard), he was an elder. He was also a CPO in the Navy. He is now living in West Virginia.
