Dear friends I subscribed to this list many years ago, I found it helpful and heartening that such
a conversation was taking place at all. I finished a PhD in the UK entitled Work in a Spiritual
Place which drew on many and diverse sources including contributions from members of this list.
I travelled to Arkansas to contribute to the conference then organised by Judi Neal.
While I was pleased to be part of such a community I was also occasionally surprised by the
parochialism evident in some of the contributions. It was sometimes as if some contributors
seemed unaware of anything outside of the US, speaking only amongst themselves,
but this list is open to people from the entire planet as it should be by its own professed
intention.
I am glad that you enjoyed Putney, next time you visit, and I hope you do, please try to go further
and you will find many folk who will welcome you as I was welcomed in Arkansas and they
will make your visit to the UK far beyond bearable.
With best wishes for Christmas and the New Year to you.

Hi Charlie
I bet you had a great time with Mia!! Makes visiting the UK bearable (oops!! - actually I enjoyed staying in Putney when my daughter lived there).
I've had quite a response re contributions, so let's see what emerges. I think you will have enough to do with the scholarly programme coming up, so you can take a raincheck on this - unless you would like to be a reviewer at all.
Warmly Kathryn

Good morning, Kathryn:
Greetings from Castle Hotel, Dublin. I presented a paper on Japan><US industrial relations path dependent divergence last evening at the Irish Jurisprudence Society seminar of Trinity College Law. I imagined old Irish dons in robes. The six young doctoral law and one archivist who showed assured me I was tainted by the old ways of their sister school, St. Andrews, where Mia went. Oh well....
Just a note on this special issue and invite. I haven't responded to it because I actually didn't know Andre well. We shared a mutual acquaintance at UW-Madison, where Andre started his career - a particularly (in)famous research methods professor who terrorized everyone with his gratuitous meanness, while also being incredibly supportive of those who tried (despite our obvious limitations of mind and spirit). And that sharing was great fun. When I first met Andre, at a dinner, his first question to me on hearing I'd done my degree at the UW-Madison Industrial Relations Research Institute was simply, "So how's Don Schwab?"
But it is a good effort. I wish I had a way to help out....his recognition of this US executive lack of spirituality, and his clear perception that the Society of Jesus wasn't putting their spirituality talents to sufficient work within the Jesuit university b-school chain, is among his great contributions.
I malinger this morning here until noon, when Mia sprout arrives from Southampton. We do walkabout until Sunday when we fly to Copenhagen to find Toyoko waiting for us at the airport.
Best,
Charlie

Dear MSR community
Many of you will have been influenced by one of our people, Andre Delbeq who passed away last year. To honour his contribution to MSR, we are putting together an issue in the Journal of Management, Spirituality and Religion. If anyone would like to join us, either as a contributor or to help organise this issue, please contact me in the first instance.
Warmly, and best wishes for 2018
Kathryn
