Sherre Hirsch and Eboo Patel in conversation with Christine Chakoian, who says, "I think about the hospitality of treating the other as friend, of assuming the best in someone rather than assuming the worst. Welcoming the differences is a way not only to get to know this surprise, but also somehow to get to know ones' self simply knowing the other."
Christine Chakoian, Pastor and Head of Staff at First Presbyterian Church of Lake Forest, Illinois, reflects on the meaning of "communion" in the context of being at table with Jewish and Muslim friends. Breaking bread, she says, is an act of hospitality that welcomes the "other," that overcomes differences and transforms strangers into friends.
A THREE PART TELEVISION SERIES
with Sherre Hirsch · Eboo Patel · Christine Chakoian
One God explores life in multi-faith America through the eyes of three
religious leaders who share how their faith is enriched by friendships
with people of other faiths.
Author and Spiritual Director, Rabbi Sherre Hirsch, listened to
Christian preachers on Sunday morning television as a child and was
impressed by how they talked directly to God. Dr. Eboo Patel grew up as a
Muslim-American in the suburbs of Chicago, volunteered at the Catholic
Worker Movement and, encouraged by the Dalai Lama, founded the
Interfaith Youth Core. The Rev. Christine Chakoian, pastor of First
Presbyterian Church in Lake Forest, Illinois, gained a fuller
understanding of communion from meals shared with Jewish and Muslim
friends.
These three religious leaders are the new face of religion in America.

Eboo Patel, founder and Executive Director of Interfaith Youth Core,
reflects on what it means to be a Muslim and the importance of the
interfaith movement in the 21st century. He says religion can be a
bubble that isolates, a barrier that divides, a bomb that destroys, or a
bridge to understanding and cooperation.
