"Feast of Life"

October 8, 2006, 6:00 p.m.

Community Christian Church

1701 S. College Ave., Tempe, AZ

(3 Blocks South of A.S.U.)

Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Bahai and Native American storytellers celebrate the bounty of God's good earth through traditional tales and about "food." All the great religious traditions remind us to eat with gratitude and enjoy the company of others at table. Regardless of creed, color or culture, we all find ourselves dependent on God's creation to sustain us.

For the third year in a row, on World Communion Sunday, the Arizona Ecumenical Council Environmental Committee and Community Christian Church invited people of faith to sit down at the same Table. Our imaginations were fed with good stories as our appetites were nourished with tasty food.

O God, for those who hunger, give bread.
For those who have bread, give a hunger for justice.
                                ---A prayer from Latin America

To a man with an empty stomach food is God.
                                ---Gandhi
 

The full stomach says, "The ripe guava has worms."
The empty stomach says, "Let me see!"
                                ---Haitian proverb

My father was a very religious man who believed in the hereafter, that you're marking time here, that this earth is not the real thing, the real thing was where you'd go after you died. But I didn't believe that at all because I liked catsup too much.
                                ---George Burns
