Think about how miraculous this statement is. We're Lutherans--a minority Protestant variation in most of the country, although we are still mainstream Protestants. In most parts of the country, the non-Lutheran pockets, there aren't many Lutheran churches to choose from.
Muslims are even more of a minority in the U.S. Yet here we are, about to have breakfast together.
I think of South Florida as a non-religious place, but we have a variety of religions. We even have a Hindu temple. But how often do we have breakfast together?
We aren't going to try to convert each other. It's not going to be that kind of breakfast. There are many ways to God. There are many ways to live a good life. On Sunday, we'll hear more from each other about that.
It won't be a typical Sunday morning in a Lutheran church--but how wondrous that we live in this time where we can stretch our boundaries in this way.
So come join us in this moment of hospitality. We'll have a good meal, good conversation, and we'll glorify God in this way.
If you're so inclined, come celebrate Interfaith Harmony Week with us at 10:10 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 9, at Trinity Lutheran Church, in Pembroke Pines, Florida, on the southeast corner of Pines Blvd. and 72nd
