Bible Study Group at the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany

by Leave a Comment

Pictured with me is Terry Waddell, Church Administrator for the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany, Houston, Texas.

On June 20, 2017 I had the pleasure of speaking to a well-attended and attentive Bible Study Group at the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany in Houston, Texas.  My talk entitled, “Where is God in marriage? Where is God in divorce? Where is God in all difficult and heartbreaking passages in life?”  God sends us messages in prayer. God sends us angels, messengers of God’s love to give us what we need one day at a time.  I shared the story of Old Donk, the four-hoofed angel in my book, Bending Angels.   Old Donk let me know every day, as I bore the cross of polio and paralysis, the importance of asking for and receiving my daily bread.

May God Bless this special group of well-developed, loving and purpose-filled souls.

If you like this prayer, please share.

At the Pasadena South Rotary Club, June 7, 2017

On Wednesday, June 7, 2017, I had the pleasure of speaking to members of the Pasadena South Rotary Club. My presentation was entitled Rotary’s Polio Plus Campaign and the Collaborative Law Process: Therapeutic Healing for the World.

As of April 2017 there were only five cases of polio in the World limited to Pakistan and Afghanistan. This is in sharp contrast to the 48,000 cases in America when I had polio in 1954. The work that over 5,000 Collaborative Professionals do in 27 countries around the globe will never prevent conflict as Rotary eliminates polio. However, conflict in relationships with others can be resolved in a peaceable, client-centered, private and interest-based resolution process. Children around the world will be less victimized by adversarial divorce. Prevention from harm and healing of relationships go hand in hand.

Imagine a world in which no child knows what polio is.

I dream of a world in which peaceable resolution of interpersonal conflict is selected before resort to adversarial litigation.

Jack Emmott Recognized as a Trailblazer by National Law Journal

by 5 Comments

Congratulations to family law attorney Jack Emmott for being named in the National Law Journal (NLJ)’s second annual “Divorce, Trusts & Estates Trailblazers” list. Jack was selected from a competitive field of nominees, all of whom have “changed the practice in their respective fields through innovative and exceptional legal strategies.”

I am so blessed to be recognized by the National Law Journal in its May 2017 issue for my work in the practice of collaborative law. There are instances which require resolution of family law disputes within the framework of the adversarial court system; I have litigated hundreds of cases.

But, collaborative law process enables couples to resolve their differences privately, peaceably and on their own timetable and without court intervention. For the sake of their children the co-parenting relationship is preserved and protected. That is the legacy I want to leave in my calling; reconciling a broken world one collaborative matter at a time.”
