From their website: www.commontables.org
“Common Tables is a Colorado-based organization with a global vision of peaceful coexistence. The goal of Common Tables is to bring together people of all faiths and cultures through a worldwide framework of 3 million people by the end of 2008. Our objective is to establish 750,000 small dinner groups that overcome barriers, misconceptions, and fear-based thinking about diversity and inclusion to recognize one single truth – we have much more in common than we do in difference. Common Tables members are making great friends while satisfying an insatiable appetite for learning, growing – and great food. In a short time, these small group interactions will generate the momentum needed for respect and understanding to circle the world.”
This group sent a “Friend Request” to me on MySpace today and I approved them after checking their page and their website. They have high aspirations, but sound like a very noble cause. I just wanted to give them a mention here in the hope of spreading the word.
