"That peoples can no longer carry on authentic dialogue
with one another is not only the most acute symptom of the
pathology of our time, it is also that which most urgently makes a
demand of us. I believe, despite all, that the peoples in this hour
can enter into dialogue, into a genuine dialogue with one another.
In a genuine dialogue each of the partners, even when he
stands in opposition to the other, heeds, affirms, and confirms his opponent
as an existing other. Only so can conflict certainly not be eliminated
from the world, but be humanly arbitrated and led towards its overcoming."

Theologian

the Eucharist is not a symbolic meal, but rather a full, literal meal and

conversation together. Here is a dinner church reading guide — books that
offer a look into the stories, theology, and practice of dinner church.
