power of the community through meals together

at a time when social interaction is often neglected, common meals are of particular importance. This also recognizes the Protestant theologian Margot Käßmann, who emphasizes that the food in society brings not only physically, but also emotionally. "Our 'Essen to go' can never replace what arises when we sit together without pressure," she explains. Pandemic has reminded many people how important those moments of community are that are often missing in today's hectic times. Families and shared apartments, such as the four-way WG in Bremen, appreciate these common meal rituals more than ever in order to reduce stress and maintain relationships, which also describes it impressively.

The meal together is perceived as a "ceremony", which celebrates the festive day expressively and creates space for open conversations. In various churches, events take place under the motto "Together" together that appeal to all age groups. These gatherings, which normally promote diversity and inclusion, create a space in which people can exchange and support themselves from different social classes. The importance of such social gatherings cannot be assessed highly enough, especially in times of isolation.
