The Neighbor Spotlight focuses this month on a man who is a recent arrival to Riverwest. Mathibela Sebothoma moved into the rectory at St. Mary Czestochowa last December when he began his studies at Marquette University. He came here from South Africa where he lived through a remarkable time of history.

The Grapes of Activism & the Politics of Meaning
“The Right is correct; there is a huge spiritual crisis in America. And the Left doesn’t get it,” said Rabbi Michael Lerner, an antiwar activist in the 1960s, editor of Tikkun magazine in Berkeley, and organizer of the conference. And with that, the conference began with the launching of a new initiative, the Network of SpiritualProgressives (NSP) to help bring about the spiritual transformation of society and politics in America.

Darling was comfortably full that evening. There was a table filled with cupcakes. It was a party after all.

Booksellers vs. “The Bird”
I recently heard a small commotion outside of my otherwise fairly quiet bookstore, and saw a few middle-aged males standing around my sandwich board. I didn’t quite understand what was going on until I realized that one of the gentlemen (I use the term loosely) had tried to wipe off the announcement of an upcoming politically-based book signing. I looked after them as they walked off, and much to my dismay, it dawned on me I was being given the international number one sign, a.k.a., “The Bird.” Well, this is America, and everyone has a right to freedom of expression.
