In preparing for our worldwork facilitator training in New Orleans in the fall of 2007, we are studying the complex process of city rebuilding. This process includes the connections between intercultural dialogue and the power of the environment as it manifests for example in hurricanes, tsunamis, and earthquakes. We are revising our thinking about what it means to care for our fragile human well being and social equality, while remembering nature.  What are the roles and the marginalized “ghost” roles, in the city, state, country…and planet?
