While organizing a community interfaith Thanksgiving event, a pastor discovers that people of all religious traditions laugh in the same language.

The story culminates with Interfaith Laughter Night, with an open mike that encourages participants of all the faiths gathered to laugh with each other…and at themselves. Come along on a journey of ecumenical silliness!
