Snag a piece of pie and grab your seat an evening of interfaith dialog over the communal table. 

It always seems like out most meaningful conversations happen not over social media, but the kitchen table. And in a Hoosier kitchen, many of those moments happen over pie, where each member of the community gets a slice. Join us for a series of intimate interfaith conversations, while enjoying a favorite seasonal Indiana pie and learning how different religions respond and teach each subject.

It’s Sunday afternoon, Jan. 22, 1956, and Bethel AME pastor Rev. Jonathan Dames and members Frances Connecticut Stout, Anna Page Stout, Ethel Kuykendall and Vivian Marbury are deep in conversation about their brothers and sisters in Montgomery, Alabama, discussing everything from Emmet Till’s murder the previous year to the Montgomery Bus Boycott. They talk about their responsibility and accountability to help brothers and sisters of other black communities while struggling at home with the effects of the current and present threat of the Ku Klux Klan and the possible parole of former Grand Dragon D.C. Stephenson.
In this short theater presentation, listen in on the conversation about one of nation’s pivotal points in civil rights history that united black communities in grief, solidarity and anger. Afterward, learn about how Bethel AME Church played a critical role in Indianapolis’ black community, serving as a place to worship as well as a community center and safe haven during difficult and dangerous times.
