Wondercafe conference

People have tossed around the idea of a wondercafe conference or gathering.

 

I am posting this thread to allow us to weave in & out of the idea

 

Some of the things that come to my mind are:

a) what is unique about wondercafe and contributors that would be interesting to others

b) what would the conference look like? would it have lanes similair to the discussion topics

c) what location would make sense 

d) funding  / costs / challenges

Volunteer time -- how much and to where

As I was talkign to folks last night at a meeting, I began to think about the # of hours that I put in to volunteer at the church or through church events.

 

 

I wonder if folks have taken the time to add yours up, what would it look like

 

 

Where do you volunteer? 

 

I can think of the following categories

 

1. Church

1.1   Congregation/Pastoral Charge

1.1.1 Inwards facing

1.1.1.1 Courts

1.1.1.2  Worship, etc

Messing up

I am normally a rather efficient person.  I can juggle multiple items, deliver to multiple areas, and just provide reasonable stuff.  I am reasonably responsive to emails.

 

The last few months, in fact, since August have been a struggle at work. Without going into specifics this is about a -million dollar project that is out of control and is now a multimillion dollar project.
