Onieda: From Free Love Utopia to the Well Set Table
from Common Threads: An Interfaith Dialogue · host Fred Stella
Please don't tell me you just saw the term "Free Love Utopia" & were hoping they were taking applications. Sorry to disappoint if you did. But these are really excellent conversations. The Oneida community is a true slice of religious Americana. What a fascinating history of folks who just thought they were doing all the right things. All this & some very stylish & sturdy dinner flatware. I grew up in a family company that focused on restaurant design & supplies. How many times did I fill orders for Oneida forks, spoons & knives with not the slightest idea of the great stale behind it all. Enjoy. Theme music "Nigal."
