Two Testaments, One Journey

Working together to faith and friendship.

Mission of
Two Testaments, One Journey

We will host events to learn, build and grow trust, hope and solidarity between Jews and Christians over the next twelve months:

Learn

We will co-host one larger scale education event with YouPlus2 whose aim is to educate the community about the history and current status of the conflict in the Middle East and one smaller scale event to include a panel of Atlantan women who have recently travelled to Israel, sharing their first-hand accounts of Israel, the people and the dynamic on the ground.

Build

We will launch the Pebble in the Pond Dinner/Lunch Series

When you throw a pebble in the pond, the ripples you create travel outward in ever- widening circles. We believe in the compounding impact of small change.

Sign up to host a “Pebble in the Pond” Lunch/Dinner

Host Duties include:

1. Planning a lunch or dinner for between 8-12 Christian and Jewish women. The meal may take place in a private home or restaurant and the cost of the meal may be split amongst the attendees or borne by the host, at the host’s discretion. Reimbursement is not available from Better Together.

2. The host may fill the table herself or ask Better Together for guests of one or both religions.

  • Consider asking a woman of the “other” faith to co-host with you.
  • If inviting new friends, consider having a casual lunch and going “Dutch”!

3. During the meal, the host will:

  • Facilitate conversation around three questions provided by Better Together;
  • Forward a group photo of the attendees; and
  • Most of all, meet new friends, grow an interfaith community between Christian and Jewish women and have fun!
