ABOUT THE CHICAGO GOLDSMITH GROUP

... No, this is not a photo of Lake Michigan! However, the Aloha Spirit of Joel's Message was established in Chicago in 1954, when Lorraine Sinkler was led to hold the first Tape Meeting in a downtown hotel room.   Since that time, dedicated individuals have carried on this Work.                             , who worked closely with Lorraine, conducted the meetings up until 1981, when she retired from this phase of the Activity in order to devote more time to her teaching and practitioner work. At that time, several students asked Bob Harper if he would keep the Study Center going. After much meditation,  Bob assumed the duties of conducting the meetings and publishing a monthly study guide and schedule of activities. Also, he is now involved with teaching and practitioner work. We are grateful that God's grace, appearing as the loving support of many seriously dedicated students of Joel's Message, has allowed us to meet in Oneness for over 25 years. Our sole aim, for all of this time, has been to serve those who are interested in Joel's Teaching, to make his material available, and to bear witness to the Aloha Spirit of Mystical Awareness that still thrives in the Windy City. Peace, and Blessings, The Chicago Goldsmith Group
