Bread for a World in Need” was the theme of the third annual Multi-Faith Thanksgiving Celebration, attended by more than 200 students, faculty, and University employees on November 19 in the Heights Room. Clergy and students representing many faith traditions spoke, and incorporated Anglican, Islamic, and Jewish ritual bread blessings into the worship service. With the help of Spread the Bread, an organization that promotes baking and sharing bread in communities around the world, the collection from the service’s offering provided bread to local food pantries, according to Karen Kelly Kiefer ’82, a founder of the group and assistant director of the Church in the 21st Century Center. The offering was also used to send gingerbread cookies to U.S. troops abroad, said Kiefer. Above, Fr. Michael Himes, professor of theology, speaks at the celebration.
