Check-in
- Eric … I was asleep … I watched a whole season of The Big Bang Theory last night

Eclipse

- Ben and his extended family will be renting a house in Sunriver in eastern Oregon
- Eric would like to come and visit at that time?
- The Sanders are going to Family Camp in Big Lake either right before or right after
Newsletter
Ben proposes we talk about the election result and how SolSeed will respond to it
- Eric: That's powerful
- Brandon: We definitely need to acknowledge and represent this, but I don't like the idea that we're 100% united on our response … the part that bothers me most about it is the division/polarization in the country
- I don't want our movement to pick sides … I want to find solutions that work for all humanity
- Let's put it in a Google doc and find a way to talk about this that's authentic and useful
- We should link to blog posts sharing our individual reactions
- Eric: I'll stay out of it
- Brandon: Consider whether our legal status as an informal religious organization constrains our ability to participate in politics
We Believe
- Brandon has published the book on Lulu
- Next versions
- 3.0.1: Fix errors in citations and stuff
- 3.1.0: Revise based on the Creed that we're actually using in services
- 4.0: Next version of the Creed
Evaluation
- Brandon … I'm glad to be in this with you guys … I respect and value both of you so much … thanks for being you and being in my life
- Ben … I am also glad that you two are in my life … I hope we can find some more common ground on how to respond to the craziness in the world, rather than just giving individual responses, or feeling obligated to give no response at all in Eric’s case … I want us to visit Eric and Buckleberry this year!
- Eric … I am excited about coming to Oregon in August and hope that all comes together
Closing Blessing
We came together to consider the work that we want to do. We seek to shape our work to bring us together around our shared aspirations, and to engage with the world in a way that aligns with those aspirations. May we find the ways to make that happen. -- Blessed Be
