About
Potluck Crumbs began with a mission to promote Christian churches. It is now reaching out beyond the confines of the church to people of other faiths, offering encouragement for their own spiritual jouneys without any expectation of conversion.
The sacred extends far beyond the boundaries of any one religion, providing healing powers to people of different cultures around the globe. After exploring several of them, I find they also have one thing in common: Potlucks. Almost every faith tradition shares a common meal over a potluck.
While much of this website is focused on Christianity, recognition is given to other means for traveling a spiritual path, whether or not that path is defined by an organized religion.
