Cafe-Praxis @ Dangerous Stories 2 (9-11Mar)
February 24, 2007 · Print This Article
Hi Guys Cafe-Praxis will be making another appearance in a downsized form at
Dangerous Stories 2 - Forge National Summit
There will be a swarm of speakers at this event and we will be there serving fair trade coffee, promoting UCA, justice causes and trying to get people to sign a wall full of political petitions like the “anti cluster bombs”, “no detention centre on Christmas Island” and you know whatever we have wall space for. It doesn’t look like we will be running any programmed content/workshops but we will have discussion papers on nuclear energy, religious vilification, work rights etc to pick up. And of course we will have Zoriah’s photos and video interviews about social issues on the walls.
So look out for us.
(If your keen to help contact me as things are still being organised)
Oh and the big news for Cafe-praxis fans is we now have our own coffee machine!!!
And… Yes, it will be available to hire (fair trade stuff only… of course)
and I will get to work on making a bit of an “instant cafe church pack” with reflections on social issues to come for the ride.
I’m thinking you could politicise your church fete or something 
Age
(Justin Timberlake Voice) Yeah!
A big thanks to all who helped run cafepraxis. It was a major rush at times and you all work hard - thanks. I hope you all heard at least one speaker that sparked your spirituality or helped with your thinking.
The coffee machine didn’t blow up! We made about 500 coffees - not sure how many we sold
I had good feed back about the many justice issues, papers and petitions to engage with. I think people got a glimpse of how the UCA is engaging with the world for peace, justice and hope… the good news even. So in a fairly conservative space it was a good ecumenical conversation.
Thanks to to forge for allowing us to play in their world.
On a personal level - I enjoyed hearing Brian M and seeing Dave and Ange A, plus a few other friends. Down side is that over the weekend I managed to get a cold and have come out the other end feeling like the living dead. Oh and the worms in my compost won’t sleep for weeks after feeding them all the used coffee grounds from the weekend.
