Starbucks spirituality?


During my stage at the University of Athens in 2003, I met a group of international Christians (most of them students and missionaries), who use to gather at the Starbucks cafe in Panepistimio. All of them were also involved in Christian activities (such as giving free meals, shower and medical care to the refugees from Iraq, or feeding the illegals from Russia). Young and old people were putting their efforts to reach the unreached with the Gospel, and they did so in practical ways. Funny, there was a group of poor Greeks that would attend all the meals for the refugees or the illegals, always arguing about faith (as their forefathers did when Apostle Paul went to Athens).

Back to my ponint, the Christian crowd loved Starbucks. And today i found the article entitles "starbucks spirituality" that reminded me of those nice days with the International Christians in Athens. But of course, the article itself goes much further, being highly recommended to read.
