Dear Spokane Faith & Values Community:
As publisher of Religion News Service and manager for the corporate owner of Spokane Faith & Values,...
Around two years ago I moved to your town, sat with many of you and said my company and I were going to be launching an online publication that would cover religion news in this area. The site didn't yet have a name, or a URL. All I could promise you was that it would be super cool and fill a void in your community.
On Sunday afternoon, I joined my mom, my sister and my sister's husband at the first (hopefully annual - or even more frequent?) Faith Feast: An Intercultural Progressive Dinner, put on by Spokane Faith and Values, a non-profit dedicated to increasing interfaith communication and understanding. I've been interested in interfaith work for years, an interest that was piqued, though not initiated, by Project Conversion
Food that meets general Islamic dietary guidelines is called halal, which is what we’ll be eating during the appetizer portion during Faith Feast: an Intercultural Progressive Dinner.
