Talk:Cafe church

A fact from Cafe church appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 26 February 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that in 1960, the founders of a Cafe church wondered, "Would Jesus want to hang out with folks at a traditional institutional church? Or would he want to hang out over a beer in a bar, or coffee in a restaurant?"

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2011/February.

Prodding for Deletion

I am prodding this article for deletion as non-notable. The only editors to this page are IPs that have only edited this article (mostly over a year ago). -- Pastordavid 11:36, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have just found this page by accident. I was looking to see if there was an entry for Mark Pierson and came across the page because of the reference to the Prodigal Project book. The cafe church model is a significant form of emerging church models throughout the world. It would be silly not to have reference to it and especially Glebe Cafe Church as probably the best known example of this in the world. The would be at least twenty publications that make mention of them. --Dean Tregenza 06:12, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Content of this article

This article is perhaps mainly about 1/ independent cafés with a church/Christian content (= a kind of church?), but it's also about 2/ cafes with a church/Christian content, which are supported/owned by a church.

In addition to that, some churches have a separate café inside or outside the church that is owned by the church, but run privately or by the church and 4/ some churches also serve coffee in some way (before, during a break, or most commonly after the Sunday service).

Similar expressions that can be used for the above are, for example, after-church coffee, cafe church, church coffee hour, Christian fellowship event, coffee after church, coffee fellowship, coffee hour, coffee hour after service, coffee time, coffee time after church service and hospitality ministry.

For me, the article is mainly about 1/ and 2/, but what about 3/ and 4/?
