=== (1) TCC Theology on Tap ===

We will be holding our very first TCC Theology on Tap on the 4th of
December at the Thirsty Ear Pub, doors open at 6.30 pm and we will begin at
7 pm. Discussion will be centered around the idea of 'morally guided
research' drawing heavily from Pope Francis' recent encyclical, Laudato Si.
Beside Fr. Dan we have confirmed our very own Josh Hester, Co-Chair of MIT
Sustainability, to discuss his thoughts on the encyclical. For this week I
would like to invite folks to read the introduction to Laudato Si, don't
worry it is just point 1-16 and it should just take you 5 minutes! (

Please invite your friends along, I believe this discussion will be of
interest to all members of the MIT community. For more details contact Adam
Kuang (aqkuang at mit.edu). Note: *You have to be over 21 to enter the Thirsty
Ear.*

=== (3) Women's Christmas ===

all head out for break and IAP, let's get together one last time to listen
to Christmas music, decorate cookies, and have a white elephant gift
exchange. Bring one item from your room as a gift. Anything from a cute
pair of socks to your rock collection you've been meaning to give away… 2-4
