I love spending time with my interfaithians and I love food. So sitting in the peace room with 8 pizzas, a box of soda and a group of some of my favorite people was lovely. (shout out to Murielle's first and successful act as finance coordinator) This was an unusual dialogue in which we didn't really have a dialogue; we shared some of our favorite stories from different faith traditions. Oh, I do love story-time!
I hope to have more of these story-time dialogues and I know that the next ones will be even better.
Stories from this dialogue
Minerva and Arachne [as told by Ovid] [painting by Tintoretto]
