food for thought @ the sol café

When we first set up the sol café, the idea was, in part, to provide a place for people to ask questions, think about their beliefs, and be challenged. In order to support that goal, we have set up this section of our website to provide resources and links to websites that we hope you will find thought-provoking and beneficial to your personal spiritual quest.

Please note our small disclaimer about these links, then please explore! As always, your suggestions are most welcome -- e-mail them to

New to Christianity? Try starting with some appetizers.

Then feel free to dig around our tidbits, entrees, resources, the bigger picture, or in the news items.

 

The Great Emergence

Apparently the sol cafe might well be riding a wave that crests only once in five hundred years. Go figure. All we were trying to do was gather to worship God together...

Green Christians of the world unite!

As the story shows, this is not a position universally shared by Christians, nor is my personal opinion necessarily that of the sol cafe or any other identifiable group of evangelical Christians, but it certainly warms the cockles of my heart to see Christians defend the environment on moral grounds.

Organic fair trade coffee in a reuseable travel mug, anyone?

I don't think this will help the cause...

The question is, what do we do in response? Ignore it? Act like it's an exception? Draw more attention to it (as I've just done) in order to confront it?

And from an inward-facing view, how do we support our clergy so that they don't end up in a situation like this?

We at the sol cafe have, for now, sort of dodged the question by not having a paid clergy, but we do know someone who just got keys to a lovely little Anglican church in the west end...

A developing story that touches on numerous issues that sol cafe regulars might find interesting: religious tolerance, diversity, religion in public life, the politicization of the US religious right...
