The series is the result of a partnership between the Social
Justice Subcommittee of the Toledo Chapter of U.S. Catholic
Priests and St. Paul's Lutheran Church.
According to St. Paul Pastor Pete Bowmer, "All people of all
faiths need to get together to look at today's critical
issues through the lens of social justice and the common
good." The theme of the series is "Culture at the
Crossroads: Critical Issues of Our Time."
First Thursday lunches take place at St. Paul's Lutheran
Church, 428 N. Erie Street, Toledo, OH 43604. Cost is $15
for lunch and presentation (cash or check at the door).
Financial assistance is available for those in need.
