Potlucks for Pluralism

Potlucks for Pluralism is a four-year partnership between Johnson C. Smith University (JCSU) and Mecklenburg Metropolitan Interfaith Network (MeckMIN) funded by a generous grant from the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations. The goal of Potlucks for Pluralism is to promote interreligious literacy and appreciation among college students from local colleges and universities. Once a semester, students from each school have the opportunity to gather for a meal and guided dialogue hosted by a local congregation. The host congregations will represent a variety of faith traditions active in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg community.

The first year of the program was an enormous success, and Queens students traveled for engaging table dialogue with students from other universities. We enjoyed excellent hospitality, great food and enriching conversation. Last year we visited The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the Islamic Society of Greater Charlotte.
