Subject: [mooneschadowe] Community - a definition
So I was in this class called "The Indispensable Employee" all afternoon
today, and the presenter gave us some information about a study done with
college & university presidents called "In Search of Community" (Boyer
1989). It listed the six principles that define the kind of community
every college and university should strive to have. Well, I sat there
thinking "that defines how Mooneschadowe operates fairly accurately". So
maybe the borg-brain is reproducible?!
So I'll replace college/university with SCA branch and we'll see how it
sounds.
#1 - First, an SCA branch is an educationally purposeful community. A
place where members share goals and work together to strengthen teaching
and learning in the branch.
#2 - Second, an SCA branch is an open community. A place where freedom of
expression is uncompromisingly protected and where civility is powerfully
affirmed.
#3 - Third, an SCA branch is a just community. A place where the
sacredness of the person is honored and where diversity is aggressively
pursued.
#4 - Fourth, an SCA branch is a disciplined community. A place where
individuals accept their obligations to the group and where well defined
governance procedures guide behavior for the common good.
#5 - Fifth, an SCA branch is a caring community. A place where the
well-being of each member is sensitively supported and where service to
others is encouraged.
#6 - Sixth, an SCA branch is a celebrative community. One in which the
heritage of the group is remembered and where rituals affirming both
tradition and change are widely shared.
I know, deep thinking before Gulf Wars -- but maybe it could be a topic of
discussion on the long drive down.
