A pub is a place where people gather to experience unity. The desire to belong—to be understood and accepted—is innate in all of us. That’s why people go to a pub or coffee shop. With our project—already growing through the meet-ups we host in these spaces—we aim to bring together a broader and more diverse community. 

Unity may be harder to achieve among differing mindsets, but that is exa“ctly where its beauty lies. Through genuine connection and honest conversation, our project can become a living expression of unity on an entirely new level. 

That is a part of the good news: 

We (all mankind) don’t need unity, we need humility. Unity is the fruit of humility. Eph. 4:1-3 

So how tolerant do we need to be to function within a diverse community like the one we are building through our project? 

A typical pub draws in a group of like-minded people. But through our project—already underway in the meet-ups we host in pubs and coffee shops—we aim to break those boundaries by bringing together people from every kind of background, mindset, and belief. With such a varied audience, our goal is to cultivate a deeper unity, one that can only emerge from a truly diverse community. 

But what does diversity mean? People differ in identity, mentality, goals, and worldview. Yet these differences—our skills, cultures, and passions—form the richness of our shared humanity. Without diversity, unity becomes nothing more than dull uniformity. 

However, without unity, diversity easily collapses into segregation and isolation. This is where tolerance becomes essential. Tolerance already implies disagreement, yet how we respond to that disagreement determines everything. One form of tolerance breaks down walls through patience, gentleness, active listening, respect, and compassion. The other builds walls—avoiding those who think differently simply because it feels easier. One form leads toward unity; the other toward conflict. 

We must also realize that humans cannot tolerate everything. We all face limits and real disagreements. What is true for one person may not be true for another—but two contradictory truths cannot both be reality. Truth, by definition, is that which corresponds to what is real.

This is why our project matters. 

It creates spaces—within pubs and coffee shops—where people can practice healthy tolerance in a diverse community. Our approach breaks down walls so unity and peace can grow. Whether you are an atheist, a Catholic, a Buddhist, an old granny, or a hippy gangster—our belief in Christ does not stop us from respecting and welcoming anyone, while still holding to the conviction that there is one truth. Your background or education does not determine your belonging. 

In the spaces shaped by our project, people learn to respect one another, even in disagreement—and that is where unity begins. 

And at the end of the day, it’s still a warm, open gathering where anyone can pull up a chair, share their story, and feel at home. 

So welcome—your seat is waiting.
