A baby homo sapien was born and she or he became the seven billioneth member of that species alive at that moment. As recently as 1940, the year I was born, homo sapiens totaled a “mere” 2.3 billion. We tripled our numbers in my lifetime!

(Have you been part of it?) Now we want to get familiar face to face too. In January 2012, we’ve begun new venues for getting together in person.

A Common Humanity: Ritual, Religion, and Immigrant Advocacy in Tucson, Arizona, released recently by the University of Arizona Press.
We’ll have Q&A time after Lane presents a few themes and stories from his book. His continuing work on the great creativity and innovation happening on the borders, along with the border’s impacts in our region, will make for an interesting evening together.
Sunday, January 1, 2012 at 2:00AM Webmaster in Current Events, Fair Trade, JEM News and Announcements We’re going to try something new here at JEM. Seeing how we’re in the “business” of helping people discover ideas for how to live with jubilee values in mind, we’ve used a growing range of digital channels to help spread our message. One of which has of course been The Common Good Podcast. But what about meeting up in person? We thought, what if we got a couple of them together for themed nights with compatible topics, and helped show how jubilee is already at work in the world?

Wednesday, December 21, 2011 at 8:35AM Lee Van Ham in Biblical Perspective, Current Events, Environment, Jubilee Living, One Earth, Unwrapping Christmas Significantly, Joseph’s decision regarding Mary is our decision today regarding Earth. When we realize we have no life without her, do we not recognize Earth as our Great Mother? Civilization’s ways, dominated by patriarchy, continue to disgrace her abusively. By treating her as a thing to use rather than a being to love, “civilized” consciousness is unable to accept marrying her. Consequently, civilization is “stoning” her – her land, waters, and atmosphere.
