Lay and professional faith leaders were invited to a free
breakfast on February 7, from 9 to 10:30 am at the Islamic Society of Northwest
Ohio.  The MultiFaith Council of NW Ohio
sponsored this event.  The event offered
food, fellowship, an introduction to MultiFaith Council programs, and table
discussions on topics of local interest: Civil Discourse, Loneliness and
Isolation, Non-Violence [the Council’s theme this year], and the “nones” [those
who do not follow a particular religious tradition.  Attendees included Christians of several denominations,
Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Bahai’s, Buddhists, Unitarian Universalists, and those non affiliated.  The program was opened and closed with
prayers for the faith leaders, their communities, and the local NW Ohio
Community.  The Council gave each
attendee a brochure, a car emblem for MFC, an envelope for donations, and a
gift certificate to a local restaurant, Zane’s Lebanese Grill.
