continuing in tandem you will find pasted below
my response to the one Chris has put on the ISCA blog yesterday,
it is not my place to publish his here
the subject is an important one
ISCA's fate is surely linked
to the degree of truth and soulfulness
it presents itself to the world
are potentially interested people
abstaining from becoming ISCA members
because they perceive a basic flaw?

Dear Chris,
despite your opening attempt at sarcastic polemics:
"You must be reading a different article.."
I am glad to find you basically confirming, albeit a bit lukewarm, the
view on systemic importance I offered with my initial post.
Just let me rephrase your:" In systemic constellation work we have come to
realise the value in acknowledging those who have come before us.." more
succinctly: ..we have come to realise we cannot proceed without
acknowledging those before us....
It is a no-brainer that "Bert did not appear out of a vacuum", same with
Franklin & Co -am still puzzled by their inclusion- and no one is
questioning the accomplishments of all those you list.
To the contrary, it is most welcome (your?) article" includes those before
him as well as those after him.."
but to say their inclusion:".. is very much giving Bert his rightful
place, neither inflated nor deflated." makes me feel ill at ease,
who are we to allot "Bert his rightful place"?
However I am delighted to sense that on a deeper level we are in
agreement. Your repeated introduction of the term "pivotal" in regards to
Bert can only be understood to mean you too do see him in a special place.
Bert "being of vital or central importance; crucial" (definition of
pivotal) is what I had in mind writing my initial post, asking those who
are in charge of ISCA's 'window to the world' to acknowledge that.
The photo gallery could make it tellingly possible to provide Bert with
the 'stand-alone-spot'(not to be mistaken as "rightful place") I am
suggesting.
Simply take Bert's image out of the line you had placed him in "alongside
historically recognised greats" and put his photo on a line of his own.
Standing by himself in an extra line between those greats, who btw are all
dead whereas he certainly is not, and the ones who followed him is the
spot that will symbolically depict his being pivotal.
yours sincerely
