Food. Faith. Hospitality. Hope. Join Moderator Kimberly Heath and special guest Chef Izzeldin Bukhari for a Thanksgiving conversation about the power of gathering at the table and truly making room for one another.
Kitchen Conversations with the Moderator: A Thanksgiving Table
Moderator The Right Rev. Dr. Kimberly Heath welcomes Palestinian chef Izzeldin Bukhari to the table for a conversation about food, faith, hospitality, and the relationships that sustain us through difficult times. Together, they prepare a Thanksgiving meal while reflecting on the power of gathering, listening, and making room for one another around the table.
Rooted in the spirit of Thanksgiving and in the United Church’s commitment to welcome, this special episode invites us to consider how in sharing meals, we can nourish understanding, build community, and create space for hope.
Watch the special Thanksgiving edition today, and join the conversation.
Join us for Kitchen Conversations with the Moderator, a video series exploring faith, food, and the power of invitation, hosted by The Right Rev. Dr. Kimberly Heath.

Through stories, recipes, and reflections from guests across the church and wider community, we explore how gathering around the table can nourish both body and spirit, deepening relationships and strengthening our commitment to welcome.
