 They brought diverse backgrounds and beliefs.
They came for a single purpose.
People of various nationalities and religions gathered at dinner tables
Wednesday for the seventh annual Interfaith Dialog and Friendship
Dinner at Oklahoma State University.
"It's important to bring people from different faiths and backgrounds
together at the same table to focus on common grounds and not
differences," OSU finance professor and Institute of Interfaith Dialog
volunteer Bilal Ertuk said. "If we can bring people together at the
same round table, I don't think there's a problem we couldn't solve."

The Interfaith Dialogue Group, which consists of very
diverse participants in many different fields from Science to Philosophy
and Theology, had a nice and peaceful conversation night at Raindrop Turkish
House. Non-Violence peace callings of Prophet Jesus were remembered and the
concept of
"Redemptive Violence" was criticized on the basis
of teachings of Christianity, Islam, and Human Nature. The participants
all agreed that there can not be any way in any religion or ethical teachings
to be violent. They also reflect the same message, " We should look what
we have common rather than what we differ." People understand each other`s
religions and cultures by this way. Every Sunday we have conversations about
different topics in the Christianity, Islam and another religions too....By the
way some Turkish desserts which are made
by the Turkish lady were served to the guests
