UCC Coffee Project (#)
„The UCC Coffee Project is a new way for your congregation to join hands with communities in the developing world. As Christians we can address a consumer dilemma by buying coffee that is fairly traded. Through the project, farmers and their families gain more control over their lives, earn a fairer share of income, have access to credit and technical support, and gain a trading partner they can trust, a fair trade organization called Equal Exchange. At the same time, your congregation can begin to learn about the impacts of our consumer habits and how to advocate for more just global economic policies for coffee producers, small farmers, and workers throughout the world.“

„The UMCOR Coffee Project is a new way to help people in need while enjoying fellowship and an excellent cup of coffee. As Christians we can address a consumer dilemma by buying coffee that is fairly traded. United Methodist congregations that participate are helping small scale farmers in Latin America, Africa and Asia earn a fairer share of income, obtain access to credit and technical support, and gain a trading partner they can trust, a fair trade organization called Equal Exchange.“

View topic - Kicking around the idea....Christian coffeehouse - Coffee Forum
„Our first coffee house in Texas was bought from Christians who advertised themselves as a Christian coffee house. Not a Christian coffee house open to all walks of life, but a coffee house for Christians to meet and edify. This was not only a terrible business move (alot of non-Christians felt unwelcomed and overwhelmed by the Christian concerts, the literature and blatant pro-Christian artwork concerning Hell and it's members) but it didn't serve a purpose in it's community. Christians still didn't like it because the drinks were unbelievably terrible and the owners refused advice from those of us who knew espresso.“

„There are many ways that your community can become involved in the Church of the Brethren Coffee Project. Within your congregation there are committees, such as Social Justice or the youth groups, that might sponsor the project. Then, as your congregation enjoys this delicious coffee, members and visitors alike can take time to learn more about its impact on the people who grow it. Read about coffee farmers and the ways in which the Church of the Brethren is helping their communities. Discuss issues of human rights and economic justice in the global marketplace and take action in the spirit of love.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„It became secularized, but the religious association remained. Some Christians at first were wont to brand coffee as "that blacke bitter invention of Satan," as opposed to good Christian wine, but in the sixteenth century Pope Clement VIII is said to have sampled coffee and given it his official blessing.“
