Breaking Bread & Barriers: One Nation. OneJax

Jacksonville is at its best when we’re united. Our new supper series, Breaking Bread & Barriers, will begin this October for a series of discussions around the theme, One Nation. OneJax. Using language from the Pledge of Allegiance as our guide, the four sessions will encourage participants to share respectful conversations around topics pertaining to the Pledge of Allegiance. For more than a decade, OneJax has been hosting Civil Discourse conversations and holding Community Suppers periodically throughout the year to bring people together. They come from different parts of town, different cultures and beliefs, and different political perspectives. These programs discuss different topics that impact the people of our city. This year we’ll be combining Civil Discourse and Community Suppers, bringing different people together to break bread and barriers.

Session 1 on October 28, 2024: “One Nation Under God” is looking at our democracy and community through the lens of faith—or no faith at all, we’ll be exploring concepts of religious nationalism. Does faith bring us together or does it push us into separate traditions and practices that fuel division? What does it mean to be a Nation under God?

The cost per attendee is $40 and helps OneJax cover food, venue, and speakers for this event.

We invite you to join us!
