The Malt Cross has just celebrated its first birthday. Happy Birthday!! For those of you who are not aware the Malt Cross is a collaberation of a number of christian groups in Nottingham, including the Church Army and Trent Vineyard. I am not sure exactly what the vision is other than the more I hear about it the more it sounds along similar lines to some of my Cafe Church thinking. They are building a community in the cafe and seeing it as a genuine interaction point for church. The Church Army are regarding it as a new expression of church, I understand, and through the Malt Cross are financing a ‘pastor to pub/club culture’. Apparently even our very own Jade frequents the place! My brother is involved a fair bit [he did the website and graphic design stuff].
I am beginning to think that a trip up would be a good idea. Anyone fancy it?

Sounds interesting. It might help the Cafe Church vision along by seeing something similar.
