== Thursday Agenda == * Check in * Project Work ** Brandon: Read Ruth’s reply and reply ** Brandon: Write up Pantheacon ** Brandon: Declare Day Ritual ** Ben: Fix my TDP ** Ben: Create a Gaia Wiki Facebook page ** Ben: Write a SolSeed 10-year retrospective draft ** Eric: Story for Spring Sushi Feast and Storytelling * Discussion: Redefining SolSeed * Evaluation == Check In == * Brandon … <like a chicken> work, work, work work, wooooork, work work work, bagawk, work, work, work * Ben … I’m grateful my investigation at work sort of kind of makes sense * Eric … zzzzzzzz !!!! Ooops! == Redefining SolSeed == * Two friends of SolSeed: SolSeed is a good name, and it should be a movement rather than a church … the world has enough churches * Brandon is considering having both a movement and a church (the movement could still be called SolSeed) ** Ben observes that we need more opinions from others ** Eric points out that many people are uncomfortable with the idea of joining a religion, but would join a movement *** Ben agrees, pointing out space enthusiasts generally fit this description *** Eric: also atheists and maybe environmentalists *** Ben: but if we also had an associated religion, would people leave the movement as soon as they found that out? * Brandon suggests we should consider having a plurality of religions (including none) that are consistent with the values and goals of SolSeed. They use different language and practices to get at the same thing. ** Brandon: Having, for example, some strong Christian rhetoric that gets at the ideas of SolSeed ** Eric: I spent some time trying to describe SolSeed in a way that would specifically inspire Liberal Christians. But I think an actual Christian has to write that.
