a sol café manifesto

This is an attempt to capture a bit of what the sol café is all about. It will not capture everything. It won't even come close.

This is not a statement of faith. This is not a statement of vision. It's just a statement.

This is a part of our manifesto:

 

manifestos are suspect

They are never the whole story. They are certainly not "The Truth."

This manifesto, for instance, is not the sol cafe. It illuminates part of the sol cafe, like a glimpse in a store window. It may contain some kernals of truth. It certainly hints at questions to which we still seek answers as a church, as a group, as a community.

It has changed over time. Or at least some of it has.

It will continue to change. Or maybe it won't.

But don't mistake this for chaos or weakness. We have built a house on rock. We just happen to enjoy doing renos.
