January 2, 2018 – Faith & Community: Poverty, A Growing Problem
with Mr. Dave Krepcho
Season 11, Episode 1
With 
the increased wealth in our country, this is a problem that should be getting better, right? On this installment of Friends Talking Faith with The Three Wise Guys we’ll discuss faith and the growing problem of poverty in America. It would stand to reason that as the wealthiest nation in the world — as the United States of America continues to become wealthier, with an economy that has continued to grow and prosper over the last few years — that poverty would be shrinking. Is that the case? We’ll talk to an expert who says that it is not. Also, what does religion have to say about poverty? We will weigh-in from our three Abrahamic faith traditions. This will be the first of several shows around the theme of Community Transformation. On this show a look at poverty in America – we’ll be joined by Mr. Dave Krepcho, President and CEO of Second Harvest Food Bank – that’s coming up on this episode of Friends Talking Faith.

The Journey Continues
We’ve been doing it together for almost 15 years: talking and listening with each other as friends! A Reform Rabbi, a Suni Imam, and a Congregational (UCC) Minister. It has been a journey of ever deepening friendship and respect. When you are friends first, then even when you disagree, you’re still friends. It’s a model of interfaith relationship we believe is essential for people of faith, and those who claim no faith community at all.
