But I think its important to know your 1. religious context (for us it's mixed, but largely Catholic), and 2. larger social context (for us, a lot of middle class/upper middle class, younger families), etc. And you have to 3. determine what your goal is; teaching, defending Christian truths? open dialog and discussion on spiritual/theological topics? open dialog with more emphasis on cultural/social issues? The options are endless, but you need to know what you are trying to accomplish, and what your emphasis will be. 4. Best venue (coffee house, pub, campus lounge, etc.).
