One of them is bound to work!Brian Emmethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16119537229186664059noreply@blogger.comBlogger21100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796650380402793439.post-79581214265289031072009-04-30T09:20:00.000-07:002009-04-30T09:27:21.905-07:00Great 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!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2796650380402793439-7958121426528903107?l=covskunklings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brian Emmethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16119537229186664059noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796650380402793439.post-61882091704409131242009-03-27T12:45:00.000-07:002009-03-27T13:01:19.337-07:00Named 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.<br /><br />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."<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2796650380402793439-6188209170440913124?l=covskunklings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brian Emmethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16119537229186664059noreply@blogger.com79
