| We are proud to invite
you to explore this site and contribute to the building of the online part of
our community! 2009 is a time of recuperation for ABC after providing Brandon WilliamsCraig as the Executive Director of Aiki Extensions in 2008. If you are new please check out A Welcome for information about participation in ABC. If you aren't a member yet please email brandon at abcglobal dot net with a few words about your connection to the work here. Several pages on this wiki are not created by members of ABC, as this is not required to contribute a user page, so voices here do not always reflect consensus. Frontpage NEWSPlease come and share Tales of Wonder with Huston Smith at Epworth UMC in Berkeley. On Sunday, July 5th, from 11:30 - 1:00 he and Brandon WilliamsCraig will explore a brief reading from The World's Religions and engage the community in conversation about religious, psychological, and mythological paths to build peace in the Beloved Community by practicing process arts. On Sunday, July 12th, from 11:30-1:30 we will break bread together and Dr. Smith will join other Berkeley scholars in an open dialogue in response to questions generated by the community. Please invite your friends and RSVP by email to brandon at abcglobal dot net to receive reading materials and an invitation to co-create questions online. For more information please click here. To contribute questions to the conversation please click here.
Board alum and beloved friend, Michael Mansfield, wed the love of his life, Randy Swearingen, once again! But this time, thanks to the Supreme Court of California, the Oakland ceremony on June 17th, 2008 was as legal as it was beautiful. Video, article, and pictures here. Please make sure you add any page important to you to your "Watch page" list under the "More" menu above. | | Needing attention:

Iris and Brandon joined several others at Berkeley Cohousing for a Community Weaving workshop provided by Cheryl Honey of the Family Support Network. Brandon would love for there to be a long-term partnership between ABC and FSN, so please consider clicking over to their website and signing up in their database as a Good Neighbor. ABC has this super user-firendly wiki and FSN has a fabulous database with associated tools for really making community happen on the ground. If you participated in this group, please follow this link and contribute your notes and ideas to the support page here.
In 2008, Brandon brought the process arts and conflict facilitation skills to Texas to the United Methodist Church General Conference and completed an assignment through ABC as the Executive Director of Aiki Extensions. He is now writing full time to complete his dissertation.
Leon and Patricia are both continuing to facilitate a Deep Listening group and contribute to the East Bay Chapter of the Network of Spiritual Progressives.
