$10,000 Challenge!

Great news (even if not exactly true)--an Anonymous Donor has pledged ten grand to the skunklings. The money must be invested in ways that create a reasonably "durable" (i.e., not a single or one-time "event") expression of God's kingdom among secular 20- and 30-year-olds in the US. This spiritual venture capitalist/sugar mommy has also pledged an additional $100K if we invest the ten grand in a way that impresses her. Proposals, please!

Skunklings of the World, Unite!

Named after Lockheed-Martin's famous "Skunk Works" R-and-D operation, we skunklings gather here to toss out lots and lots of crazy-but-specific ideas concerning how followers of Jesus can better represent him in and to our world. This is NOT a "discussion" forum; we're not evaluating ideas, we're generating them. Comments longer than 112 words will generally be excoriated, unless absolutely and unmistakably brilliant.

First area: describe a way in which it could be demonstrated to a group of secular 20-somethings that following Jesus can be genuinely "spiritual" and not "religious."
