Delicious Peace: Coffee, Music and Jewish, Muslim and Christian Harmony in Uganda
Listen now
Description
Tufts University Jewish Chaplain and Executive Director of Tufts Hillel for 34 years, Rabbi Jeffrey Summit and photojournalist Richard Sobol presented a multimedia talk about their involvement with Delicious Peace. It is a story of coffee, music and world peace. The coffee is grown by more than 1000 Christian, Muslim and Jews who live in a rural region of Uganda and are members of a fair trade cooperative called "Peace Kawomera" - kawomera means in "delicious" in Luganda. The farmers make music together, music that Summit found so inspirational that he had to share it with the world. This talk was sponsored by the Office for Religious Life. Cosponsors: Catholic Community at Stanford, Episcopal Lutheran Campus Ministry, Hillel at Stanford, Islamic Student Society at Stanford, the Peace+Justice Studies Initiative, Department of Music and Taube Center for Jewish Studies.
