Breaking of bread, barriers
Beth Bates and Kathy Escobar sent us this link last week about a project in Denver called ‘Common Tables’.
Breaking of bread, barriers: Common Tables fosters insight on faiths, fights bigotry one meal at a time
Did you hear the one about the Episcopalian, former Baptist, Catholic turned Baha’i and atheist who walked into a coffee shop?
While that may sound like the beginning of a joke, this particular interfaith gathering is part of a serious endeavor called Common Tables.
This nonprofit group is trying to end religious bigotry — one dinner table at a time.
The notion is that people who break bread together can break down barriers between faiths.
Co-founders Randy and Sandy Harris and Dave and Kay Corby arrange for individuals and couples from diverse spiritual backgrounds to meet and explore their similarities and differences.
