Interfaith Conversations  with Others Cafe

These "conversation café" dialogues focus on interfaith matters and questions of faith. A topic is chosen by those who attend each evening, based on questions of faith that we bring to our world.

Interfaith Conversation Café is available at two locations:

In St. Paul at the Saint Paul Area Council of Churches, 1671 Summit Ave., 55105, on the 3rd Monday of each month. The Interfaith Conversation Cafe at this location in St. Paul will resume January 18, 2010.  (651) 646-8805

The second location is in Eagan at Aspenwood Apartments, 1125 Duckwood Trail, also meeting monthly on a Monday as determined by the group.

(651) 452-2093

Conversation at both begins promptly at 7:00 p.m.; doors open at 6:30 p.m. There is a free will offering to cover coffee, tea and refreshments. You are welcome to come once or every time. Please bring your own mug! And bring a friend!
