DESCRIPTION:Come join a discussion of what happens when liberation theology meets 
 process thought in the context of San Francisco's hyper-agitated real 
 estate market. This is an on-going discussion in its third week. \n\nIn 
 week 1 we discussed MLK's sermons and talks identifying his conviction that 
 a moral basis underlies the constructive betterment of society.\n\nIn week 
 2 we read later sermons and talks of MLK's asserting that the constructive 
 betterment of society is a process. Further, we discussed Alfred North 
 Whitehead's "process thought" philosophy as an elaborated complement to 
 MLK's observation that social change is co-generated by all members of 
 community.\n\nIn week 3 anticipate discussion of MLK's unsolidified 
 thoughts on reconciling the uplifting of the individual with a public 
 policy robustly addressing institutional favortism. \n\nMartin Luther King, 
 jr. formulated a liberating civil disobedience based upon a theology of 
 transformative love. Alfred North Whitehead formulated a philosophy of life 
 based upon ever evolving relationships from the electron on up through 
 nebular systems. We wonder if transformative love isn't a species of 
 evolving creative relationship and further, we wonder if rising land values 
 in the Bay Region aren't but a reflection of the emergent quality of 
 social, economic, and political relationships.\n\nIf so, then land values 
 are a process of society, not a manufacture of individuals, and 
 consequently to divorce land rents from the public good is lousy 
 philosophy, corrosive public policy, and derelict theology.\n\nJoin The 
 Commons SF in generating a metaphysics that informs public action in 
 constituting a just society. This is a roundtable discussion moderated by a 
 reader and admirer of both King and Whitehead. One does not need to have 
 read either to participate, but discussion will be moderated to stay on 
 topic.\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2015/06/28/18774164.php
