Congregation-based Dinner Dialogues

Know Your Neighbor: Interfaith Learning Sessions and Dinner Dialogues

IFC sponsors interfaith learning sessions and dinner dialogues hosted by different religious congregations in the metropolitan DC area. These events give participants a chance to learn things they’ve always wanted to know about their neighbors’ faith tradition and to reflect and share in small group dialogues through the lens of their own experience and tradition. Host religious communities provide a simple vegetarian meal for everyone to enjoy.

Home-based Dinner Dialogues

Around the table, over a simple meal, people of diverse religious and spiritual backgrounds come together to share food and offer their views on life and meaning. Hosts volunteer to provide space for 6-8 to gather in their home for a shared meal and dialogue.  IFC encourages religious diversity among those gathered. An appointed facilitator guides the discussion so that all feel welcome.

All share a meal and dialogue together around thought provoking questions based on broad themes present in nearly all faith traditions and worldviews. IFC provides instructions and resource material.
