You’ve heard the one about the rabbi and the priest who went into a bar.  Well, it’s no joke. It’s a new kind of interfaith dialogue.

Rabbi Mark Strauss-Cohn of Temple Emanuel and Father Steven Rice of St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church will hold sway at 6 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month beginning October 18 at Finnegan’s Wake on Trade Street in Winston-Salem.

They call it one part meaningfulness, two parts spirituality and one-half shot irreverence.
