GOOD Interfaith Fellowship: Wilton Congregational Church and Temple B’Nai Chaim Committed to Interfaith Dialogue

On Sunday, Mar. 8, as part of Wilton Congregational Church’s “Second Hour Speaker Program,” Associate Minister Dave Stuart and Temple B’nai Chaim Cantor Harriet Dunkerley held a dialogue and open forum on Judaism at WCC. 

Continuing the dialogue, younger WCC members will join other area churches and visit Temple B’nai Chaim for an Interfaith Teen Shabbat service on Friday, Mar. 20, that will include worship, prayer, song and food.

Stuart said having Dunkerley participate in Wilton Congregational’s Second Hour Program was a timely example of how the weekly program (Sunday mornings following regular worship service) offers thoughtful conversation on engaging and current topics related to spirituality.  

“Rev. Caroline Hughes and I believe faith ought to be relevant to our daily lives,” Stuart said. “Because we are now in the season of Lent in our church and our Jewish siblings are moving closer to Passover, we thought a conversation on Judaism was crucial to understanding our own Christianity better.”

Dunkerley said the Teen Shabbat services is probably her favorite service every year.

“The more we can come together in spaces where we can learn and talk, pray and sing, and just gather in fellowship with people who may have different faith beliefs than we have, the better! This is about learning that even though we worship in different spaces, we truly have so much more in common than that which appears to separate or divide us. In these chaotic and often terrifying times, bringing our young people together to encourage mutual understanding, respect and dialogue gives me hope,” she said, adding she expects to have 50-60 attendees from churches in Wilton and Redding alongside TBC students.
