In an effort to foster interfaith
dialogue, Scioto Educational Foundation has participated in community
dinners with various churches. The dinners took place during Ramadan,
or October, in different days. These community dinners were invaluable
moments for people from different faiths to come together at a table,
and try to understand each other better. During these dinners,
speakers from both communities have shortly explained the importance
of fasting and self-discipline in both faiths. Before the dinner,
representatives of both groups have prayed to God in their own faiths.
As Scioto Educational Foundation, we would like to take this
opportunity to thank members of these churches for hosting these
dinners: St. Francis of Assisi Church, St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church
and St. Thomas More Newman Catholic Center. For pictures of the
dinners, please see below.
