The Upper Room Project

So here is our current vision for the upper room. We will put as much up on morepraxis allowing all of the morepraxis community to help shape the nights and direction of this gathering. (and hopefully give some fuel to see more local project develop)

The upper room project will meet monthly to engage with spirituality and justice as struggled with and fought for by the Prophets and Jesus. It will run upstairs in the Shine Café/Bar with gallery space, discussion corners, opportunity for practical response and pondering space – Also food, wine and coffee

The upper room is the place of meeting with Jesus where he reflects on the bloody struggle ahead of him and his follows (Luke22: 7-38); the place where loved disciples rest their head on Jesus’ breast to hear his heart beat (John 13:22-25); and a prophetic call by Jeremiah to not build prosperity by unrighteousness ‘upper rooms’ by injustice – to know God is to defend the cause of the poor and needy. (Jer 22:13-16)

These three interpretations of upper room will help shape the formate and vision of the upper room project.

We hope the upper room will be

• Space to rest/relax with your tribe
• Be challenged by the prophetic call of compassion
• Connect with heartbeats for living

There will be food, wine and friends plus

• a gallery space for photos and other art.
• activist space - activities, information and people deeply into that topic to meet
• conversational space - multimedia and communally led (an interview, music, texts, a place to chat)

More than this we desire to help build a movement of young adults and people of good will who hold each other accountable to live with integrity. Our mantra being “We don’t come lighty and we will not go quietly”

So any thoughts?
Does this cover what we have chatted about?
