The goal of the annual series is to bridge understanding of the world’s religions by highlighting the differences and similarities of various faith traditions through artistic expressions rooted in the arts and humanities.
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.
