Coffee Chat Collective (7807)
For a long time I’ve been involved with all kinds of interfaith events. A lot of what those events are about is sharing information, helping us understand each other’s religions intellectually. With that knowledge comes understanding and tolerance. But what I’ve always loved most about them are the lasting friendships that form between people who gather again and again with the sole purpose of building bridges, of understanding each other better. The people I’ve met through interfaith have become some of my dearest friends. A little more than a month ago, I reached out to a couple of my friends and decided to start getting together for coffee with people of different faiths, cultures and backgrounds. Coffee Chat is all about building those friendships. I put together a Facebook event page and we shared it with our contacts. There were 3 of us at our first gathering, then 9 and then 18. Our gatherings have been more than doubling each time just by letting friends of friends know by word of mouth and continuing to share our Facebook event. Since we started, so many people from around the country have been messaging me to ask if they can copy the idea and do this in their area. So we’d like to invite you to join us by starting your own Coffee Chat. To make it as easy as possible to start bringing people together, I’ve made our event page, template, description and logo available to everyone. Just plug in your location and get going!
