day 2...

didn't have much time to go into detail yesterday, as I was mega-tired... I ended up sleeping from 6:30pm-7:45am...

what's urban seed? what's a 'residential' or 'resi'?

well what Urban Seed do, is run programs for the marginelised.

And who are the marginelised?

Well, that includes everyone from the homeless, the umemployed, druggies (for lack of a better term)... examples are those who shoot up in the laneway (which is just behind the place), those in the yellow vests in the city that sell those "Big Issue" mags, those that are on a disability pension (i.e. schizophrenia (I think that's how you spell it), met two really nice guys that are affected by it).

"programs"???

The main one would be the "credo cafe". Lunchtimes (currently Mon-Thurs), from 12pm-1:30pm, the doors to the cafe open for a free lunch, and some company :)

Before which there's 15mins prayer and a reflection.

After lunch there's a bible study for the same crowd on Tuesdays, today we did the passage about the various parts in the body of Christ, and importance. Also, a bunch of lawyers came in for lunch today to give free legal advice to those who wanted it.

Wednesday there's a forum on advocacy. They also organise sports events so that they can be involved (there's a credo cricket team (7 ducks last weekend :S)), camping trips, womens groups, etc...
