SPECIAL EVENTS

The 5th Annual Amazing Faiths Dinner Dialogue is scheduled for Thursday, November 17, 2011.

We’ve heard all we need to hear about what divides us. Now let’s talk about the common ground that unites us. People from all over the larger Houston area will gather in groups of 8-10 in private host homes to share a meal and engage in a guided conversation about the role of faith or spirituality in their lives.

Around the table, over a simple dinner, people of diverse backgrounds come together to share a meal and offer their personal thoughts about life, faith, spirituality. Participants are grouped in host homes to achieve religious diversity, and a trained facilitator guides and moderates the dialogue so that everyone feels comfortable sharing their thoughts and ideas. Each participant shares about his/her beliefs while the other participants actively listen without challenging or commenting on the individual's response.

The host/hostess provides a simple vegetarian meal. The dinner is a symbolic act of tolerance, respect, and understanding; eating together is an outward expression of unity among diverse individuals with varied beliefs and religious traditions.
