Come to the Table: Interfaith Understanding Through the Culinary Arts

 

At the Come to the Table event, Franklin College and its partners invited attendees to learn about other religions not through doctrine, but through the experience of breaking bread together and sharing stories. 

Dr. Adrian Miller, executive director of the Colorado Council of Churches and award-winning author of Soul Food: The Surprising Story of an American Cuisine, One Plate at a Time, gave a short presentation that was followed by a panel discussion featuring local practitioners from the Islamic, Buddhist and Jewish traditions.

This event was a part of the 2023 Spirit & Place Festival.
