We are a group of Jews, Christians, and Muslims who live in Westchester. In exploring the commonalities and differences in our religious traditions we seek to build trust and genuine relationships. Between fifteen and twenty-five of us meet monthly for conversation and dinner in the homes of our members. Since we began in 2013, we've had conversations on many topics. We usually approach our discussions with a series of questions and texts. For samples see Resources. Here are some of the topics we've discussed:
Exodus in Three Traditions
Abraham in Our Traditions
The Stranger in Our Traditions
Stewardship of the Earth
Religious Practice and Experiencing Transcendence
