What's in a name?
Café is an electronic magazine for young women who want to build Community, participate in Advocacy, strengthen Faith, and strive toward Enlightenment (CAFE!). It incorporates a Lutheran perspective for women of Christian faith or simply for any woman who is interested in how faith can relate to the issues that women face today.
Examples of some topics include: sharing blessings, discovering unexpected growth out of loss, renewing the body and spirit, inviting people to church, the sound of your faith, keeping a flexible spirit, addiction transfer, AIDS, Domestic hunger, Young women and voting, anger, the burden of credit card debt and its spiritual consequences, body image and negative self-talk and forgiveness for good health.

A special message from the editor of Cafe, Beth McBride about our Cafe group at Holy Cross:
 Your Cafe group meeting sounds awesome! I am going to pass along that message to some other folks. My goal is to maintain and help start out 10 cafe groups by the end of the year. I am thinking of putting group organizers (like you) on NING, so we can all talk to one another and may...be plan events--those that are close geographically! But there could be loads of things we could do! Or if we want to create a CAFE retreat or something like that, the NING group would be in on the training! Anyway in the meantime, thanks for starting up your group--I hope it continues to grow and provide for a relevant and meaningful space for young women of faith. Keep up the great work! Blessings! Beth
