Participant, I'm New to the World Cafe
If you are new to the World Cafe, would you please share how you heard about this community?
I've been committed to participative ways of working for many years and used methods such as Open Space Technology. I have less experience of World Cafe but I can see its potential.
What field is the primary focus of your World Café work (ONLY CHECK AREAS WHERE YOU ARE ALREADY ACTIVELY USING WORLD CAFE PLEASE)?
Religion
What knowledge, skills or resources would you like to contribute to the World Café community to help it grow and flourish?
Community Development Worker for over 20 years. Radical Theologian with qualifications in applied theology and non-directive consultancy for church and community workers. Have worked for the Methodist Church in Britain as a an Ecumenical Officer for over six years. Methodist Local Preacher.
What would you most like to receive from this community?
I have tried to introduce participative ways of working into my community and church work. I often feel as if I'm making heavy weather of it and would welcome sharing experiences with others experiencing similar difficulties.
I have recently started to work part time and without planning have found myself with plenty of unstructured time. I see this as an opportunity and I'm exploring everything I can before the time fills up (as it does) or someone starts paying me again.

Welcome, Chris! I'd love to hear more about you, and how you are working with Open Space, etc. in religious settings. You may be interested in checking out the Collaborative Methods group, and if you shared a bit about yourself in the community Introductions area you may find responses from the many others who also work with the World Cafe in religious settings.
If you appreciate the World Café and what this community space makes possible, please make your contribution - large or small - to the World Café Community Foundation now.
