Behind the book
Svante Hallberg
Physician · Theologian · Author
Theology, medicine and international humanitarian work meet here around food, faith and the people who share a table.
A meal can be shared anywhere.
The Global Table
Discover the people, places and stories that bring us together.
The Global Table is a place to discover churches, congregations and communities through the meals they share. Each table brings together a place on the map, the people who gather there, their story and a recipe from their kitchen.
Explore a community near home or on the other side of the world. Read its story, try its food, and bring your questions to At the Table. Your own community can be part of this too.
Meet the people
Discover what brings a community together: a shared meal, a local tradition or a story worth passing on. Its recipe gives you something to bring to your own table.
Add your community
Churches, congregations and other communities are invited to share their own table. Introduce yourselves, tell us about a meal that matters to you, and share a recipe.
How to take part →
Explore the interactive map in its own space. Discover tables and Places of Faith, choose what to show, or let a random table take you somewhere new.

At the Table
Come in. Take a seat. Say hello.
Food, faith, everyday life, a place you hope to visit. Meet people from around the world and see where the conversation goes.
At the Table is the shared conversation space beside the map. Talk about faith, food, everyday life or somewhere you hope to visit. You can also bring a community story or a Place of Faith into the conversation, so others can see what you are talking about.
Explore freely. When you enter the room, you can start as a guest or choose a display name. You do not have to represent a church to join in.

THE GLOBAL TABLE
Your table belongs here.
For churches, congregations and communities who want to introduce themselves through their people, traditions and food.
Share a meal, a memory or a tradition that matters to your community. Let someone on the other side of the world discover it.
Introduce your community
Tell us who you are and where you gather. What would you like someone visiting your table to know about you?
