Episode 3: Now I Know

Everyone loves a good story. Storytelling captivates and captures the imagination when told well. Through storytelling, humans can connect with one another via shared experiences. Because storytelling connects us so powerfully, it only makes sense to use the power of good storytelling to share our faith stories.
There are many kinds of faith stories. Some of them begin with our birth and bring the listeners to the present moment. Others relate a time of difficulty when the storyteller received God’s grace to walk through a hardship. Some faith stories tell of times of divine intervention in our lives. A well-crafted faith story has the power to rekindle the embers of listeners’ faith.
That is the purpose of the Dove Faith Café. It is the fulfillment of a vision that was divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit. The Dove Faith Café brings together storytellers and listeners who share their faith stories in an episode of hope. The Dove Faith Café  answers the call to evangelism that we, as members of the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Indiana, of the wider Episcopal Church of the United States, and as brothers and sisters of our Savior are committed to embracing.
We are reaching out to all of God’s children to help them to identify God’s voice or hand in their lives. We are purposely not interested in only Christians. Many of our brothers and sisters who are not Christians and those who are disaffected Christians should feel welcome. We reach out to Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Agnostics, Atheists, and to Christians as well. There are many who call themselves Christians but whose embers of faith have grown cold. We hope to stir up these embers and reignite their fire. 
Our goal is that those who experience a Dove Faith Café story will realize the work of God in the lives of others and recognize it in their own lives as they experience the power of others sharing their own faith stories. These stories illustrate that what unites us (God) is infinitely more powerful than what divides us.
