New York: Some well-off New York City residents have paid $100 each for the honor of eating a candlelit holiday dinner with homeless people at a church.
The Rev. Edward Sunderland says he hopes Friday's unusual mealtime coupling of haves and have-nots at St. Bartholomew's Church in Manhattan will become a trend across America.
About 500 people dined at large round tables beneath the church's high ceiling. Chefs from The New York Palace and The Waldorf-Astoria hotels provided roasted turkey, buttered mashed potatoes, red velvet cake, pumpkin cheesecake and other delights. A piano played softly in the background.
