Thursday Night Interfaith Supper 2008-2009

Celebrating 42 Years of Interfaith Dialogue
in the Brown Community

The Thursday Night Interfaith Supper (TNS) 2008-2009 series continues this week
on April 2, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., with a special presentation by Professor Sami Zubaida, professor emeritus of politics and sociology at Birkbeck College, London.
He will be on the Brown campus as part of the Peter Green Lectures on the Modern Middle East. On Wednesday afternoon, April 1, he will deliver a lecture titled “Religion, Community, and Class in Iraqi Politics and Society" at 4:00 p.m. in List Art Center (64 College St.), Room 120. On Thursday evening, he will join TNS for a more informal talk about his work on religion, culture, law, and politics in the Middle East, and on food and culture. More information about Professor Zubaida is available at the University's News website.

Thursday Night Supper is free and open to the community.

All members of the Brown community are welcome to join us at the home of the chaplain of the University, the Rev. Janet Cooper Nelson (directions below), close to the Main Green.

The TNS schedule is available on Brown's Religious Life Calendar.

TNS comprises members of the Brown community from all faith traditions. Come each Thursday from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. during the academic year.
