Central New York pastors, church leaders meet to build partnerships, help each others' congregations


From Syracuse-

Nearly 100 people from more than 50 Central New York suburban and urban congregations gathered Thursday to get to know each other and figure out how they can help each other.

In a “speed-dating” style, they sat opposite each other for two-minute chats. Once time was called, each person switched seats to talk with a person from another congregation or group.

The InterFaith Breakfast at Tucker Missionary Baptist Church tried to spark partnerships among urban and suburban congregations. It was sponsored by InterFaith Works of Central New York, a nonprofit organization that works to educate people about different faith groups.

The breakfast attracted people from various faiths - Baptist, Catholic, Episcopal, Islam, and Jewish as well as other groups like the Zen Center of Syracuse.
