your Wikli-fix: WikliLeaksThis week we bring you a trove of documents classified "community". Like our more infamous wiki-brethren, we've been kinda preoccupied this week. But most of the leaks we've encountered are in our basement, and the only bail we've made has been in buckets. But we've got our share of exposés about human rights, human nature, and much more. The Wikli will be on holiday hiatus for a couple weeks. As always, the site remains open to all the neighborhood insights you're looking to share. Enjoy the rest of 2010. See you on the other side of New Year's. |

Celebration proceeds like this: First, after a welcoming song, we break into four groups for 20-30 minutes, depending on your preference (meditation, arts, service, and yoga). Second, we regather for a song and a reflection. Third, we eat a meal around tables and discuss our experiences and the reflection, before closing with a song.

theology on tap: the question of human natureWednesday, Dec 15th, 8-9:30pm @ Awash, 3808 S Edmunds Every other Wednesday a diverse group gathers at Awash Restaurant to discuss one of life's Great Mysteries over drinks and tasty Ethiopian food. This Wednesday we'll be taking on the question of human nature. Are we naturally good but corrupted by culture? Are we greedy and selfish but tamed by society? A mix of both? How does our answer to this question affect our real lives? Our format is: brief introductions, 5-8 minutes where someone shares several deep responses to the Great Mystery from brilliant theological/philosophical minds from history, then the floor is opened for discussion. Finger food is provided for free, drinks are up to individuals.
