The Global Archives of the Ecumenical Institute and Institute of Cultural Affairs

Welcome to The Global Archives of the Ecumenical Institute (EI) and the Institute of Cultural Affairs (ICA)!

If you wandered in by accident or worked at finding this link, you have begun an extraordinary adventure.

This ‘library’ contains the collective work of EI and ICA colleagues. Here you will discover presentations, books, memoirs, stories, and publications. Institute staff members dedicate themselves to building models and sharing methods that bring working groups to life. These are practical skills, participation tools, and consciousness building for use in organizations, businesses, and communities. Their uses documented here in case studies and examples have contributed to movements of citizen participation, community development, nation building, and organization transformation across the world since the early 1960s.

“What appears  to be a breaking down of civilization may well be simply the breaking up of old forms by life itself”

~ Joyce Carol Oates
