We have enjoyed beautiful weather and a very pleasant setting for our three days of meetings. The discussions have been in a relaxed and open setting. In addition to the opportunity to address some questions that have been on people&#8217;s minds for months, the retreat helps us to get to know one another as individuals. Although I know each member of the Council, I do not know some as well as others, so spending time together helps me to understand where some of the other Council members are &quot;coming from&quot;, as we say. One term that came up several times these last three days was &quot;world view&quot;, reflecting the way each person tends to filter information based on personal background, etc. After lunch today everyone is leaving, with some of the men catching a flight back home either this afternoon or evening. I fly back to Germany tomorrow from Indianapolis. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Council of Elders 3 day retreat ends today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-297","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-council-of-elders"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ucog.org\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ucog.org\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ucog.org\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ucog.org\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ucog.org\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=297"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ucog.org\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ucog.org\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ucog.org\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ucog.org\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
