Cafe Virtuoso Slideshows

Jubilee Economics’ podcast The Common Good went on the road to San Diego’s Cafe Virtuoso where everything is organic, as much as possible is Fair Trade, and the goods are top quality. (Episode 18 is the main audio interview.)

This series of slideshows is an extension to the podcast interview with Steve von Kolkow and Laurie Britton, the principal owner-partners at Virtuoso. 

Look Out Justin Bieber! JEM is on YouTube!

Yesterday Lee Van Ham was interviewed by T.C. Porter of Adams Avenue Crossing, a unique dirt-under-the-fingernails ministry effort in the Normal Heights neighborhood of San Diego (where the JEM office is located). Lee addresses a number of questions that help introduce the historical/theological background of the Jubilee economics model, and considers what embracing jubilee means for the disciple who is called to live according to this model that stands in contrast to the model used by the superpowers and empires of the world.

So look out Justin Bieber! Lee might be the next YouTube star with all the videos popping up lately on YouTube. Have you seen the JEM channel, JubEcoMin? It is our YouTube channel featuring our own uploads, and footage from allied groups on a similar path. Lee is guest preaching for four weeks at the African-American congregation at Southeast Presbyterian Church in San Diego. We’ll get as much of that footage as we can. You can find the first week’s sermon among our uploads on the YouTube channel.

Grocery Store Guilt?

Have any of you seen this video? If not, take a look. I think it’s a rather creative way to encourage the use of reusable shopping bags.
