Honest conversation over a shared meal
A Seat at the Table
Interfaith dinners that bring Murfreesboro neighbors of different faiths together for honest conversation.
Real understanding doesn't happen in conference rooms. It happens at dinner tables.
A Seat at the Table brings together neighbors of different faiths, backgrounds, and stories for an evening of honest conversation over a shared meal. We handle the food and the facilitator; you bring an open mind.
The conversations linger long after the plates are cleared, and many guests leave with new friends.
What we do
A Seat at the Table (ASATT) invites members of the community to sit down with MMY, learn about our faith and our organization, and share their own stories. Conversations have included people from all walks of life.
It is one of several MMY interfaith programs, alongside Love Your Neighbor and our Appreciation Iftar.
Tables are hosted with families, clubs, school groups, churches, and other congregations. If you would like to host one, email us.
