This is a story of discovery. It describes how a Welsh choir perfected its music making by deepening the relationships between the members and healing any personal antagonism amongst them. In particular it follows the fortunes of the choir's conductor as, through parallel experiences leading the choir in various competitions and helping injured and dying miners in a horrifying mining disaster, he 'finds his soul' and deepens his understanding of the music his choir is able to make. It uses Henry Vaughan's Seventeenth Century poem 'My Soul' as the basis of the journeys of discovery made by the conductor, his choir and their local mining community.

Are we allowed to scrutinize public art, even if the public doesn’t pay for it? It only took the city of Buffalo 15 minutes to shut it off and five days for Mayor Jimmy Griffin to tear down Billie Lawless’ sculpture "Green Lightning" in 1984. It may have had something to do with dancing neon figures that resembled Mr. Peanut. But, to this day it’s unclear if the artist tricked the city or the city acted hastily. For the first time, through interviews, court documents, and press clippings, the story of "Green Lightning" is told. The story of "Green Lightning" is a cautionary tale about the importance of public art education. If the public is not aware of the different meanings and interpretations of art, they are more likely to react to it in a negative way. It is important for people to understand that art is subjective, and that what one person finds offensive, another person may find beautiful.

Join the conversation between evaluation and facilitation. This issue explores the interplay between the two and how one practice can inform the other. The authors represent both the evaluation and facilitation fields, describing underlying concepts that inform their practices, the competencies they seek to develop, the choices they make about facilitation in the work they do, and how they gauge success. This issue brings together topics meant to stimulate the curiosity of evaluators and facilitators and encourage reflection on their work and the skills needed to carry it out. This is the 149th issue in the New Directions for Evaluation series from Jossey-Bass. It is an official publication of the American Evaluation Association.
