Emerging Africa

Hello

I have been tagging along for a while now, just popping every odd now and then. Now I have decided to join the conversation by blogging regularly. A year ago I moved the Cape to Jozi, would love to be part of a discussion group where lots of coffee/wine (hopefully both) and good old life-theology are consumed.

Anybody out there?

Cheers

Hi Fellow emo-gents,

There is a meet-up in Rosebank @ Doppio Zero, 7am on Monday. Short notice I know, but I'm feeling lucky! If you don't feel like springing for breakfast then at least come for a cup of coffee.

No topic, no agenda

Sms/Call me if you want any details 082 901 4454.

Peter Veysie is hosting a meetup at the Rocket in Rivonia on November 26th 12 midday. Some more info, Peter?

It looks like it's been a while since anything has happened here. I'm stepping out and stepping up.

Something that is missing with the emergingent conversation is co-operation. Simply put, emergingents are disconnected. Each fighting our own battles by themselves. Iron sharpens iron, and it seems like we're getting a bit dull. Agreed, thank you.

This blog is a small oasis for us. But is that enough? Not for me. I'd like more. I like to connect with people, thrash out ideas in conversation. Here the sound of laughter, watch a person's face as grapple with ideas, taste the beer*as we converse about getting in touch with poverty, or how Muse will rock the Coca Cola festival.

I think we can all do with some real connections.

It's about time I organised a meetup in Joburg - a "Hi, pleased to meet you, you don't look anything like your online picture and you sound fairly normal in person, pity about the hair," type thing. And also to meet others who might be thinking and doing the same things you are.

So how about Friday, November 16 around 6pm? We can either do it at a coffee shop or at someone's house (someone volunteered earlier but I can't remember who...). Just an informal gathering and good conversation.

Venue suggestions:
Europa in Linden (although it's pretty busy that time...I'd have to book a table)
[Insert your name here]'s house

Let me know who's keen and if that date and time suits, and we'll go from there :)
