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.
