How does the journey of interfaith dialogue begin? The answer, we believe, is through a single conversation -- by truly listening to those
who share the journey with us.
This November the Austin Community will have the unique opportunity to
sharing a beautiful interfaith experience through a new program called
the Amazing Faiths Dinner Dialogues. These free dinner events are being
brought to you through a partnership of Austin Area Interreligious
Ministries, the Institute for Interfaith Dialogue, St. James Episcopal
Church, and The Seton Cove.
On Thursday, November 12, individuals of diverse faiths will be gathering in homes
throughout the Austin Area and the nation to break bread and share
their individual faith stories in a profoundly respectful and peaceful
way. We invite you to join these dinner events either through hosting a
dinner, moderating a discussion, or simply participating in one of the
dinner dialogues.
Inspired by the book, The Amazing Faith of Texas, The Amazing Faiths
Dinner Dialogues are a national effort created right here in
Texas by Interfaith Ministries of Greater Houston. On November 12, 2009, hundreds of dinner
conversations happening at the same time in homes from coast to coast.
It is truly a "first step" of historic proportions.
Hosts will be asked to prepare a simple, vegetarian meal for between
8-10 people. Moderators will be trained via a simple telephone
conversation that last no more than one hour, and participants will be
matched to homes that are close to their own residences. Every effort
will be made to ensure that true religious diversity will be present at
every home.
(Note: If you would like to participate as a Moderator,
please contact us directly at 512-386-9145.)
Please join us for a beautiful evening of shared stories and deep
listening on Thursday, November 12, 2009.
