Christians (various denominations), Muslims, Hindus, Jews, Religious Science, Wicca, and others gathered in famous Rancho San Rafael Park, shared picnic tables, discussed similarities in their different faith traditions while eating each other’s food. Respecting each other’s tradition, no pork, alcohol, beef, or shellfish was allowed in the picnic.
