'When the food was passed, we all became equal': Homeless, wealthy sit side-by-side at NYC church dinner

Well-off Manhattan residents paid $100 Friday to have a holiday dinner with homeless people inside Bartholomew's Church. Chefs from The New York Palace and The Waldorf-Astoria hotels provided the meal, which was meant to bring people from different socioeconomic backgrounds together.

NEW YORK — Some well-off Manhattan residents paid $100 Friday for the honor of eating a candlelit holiday dinner with homeless people at a church, an intersection of two worlds that left one down-on-his luck man thinking the seemingly impossible.

"What if a love connection happened tonight between the haves and the have-nots?" 44-year-old Craig James said before guests arrived. James, who has been homeless since losing a security job four years ago, also volunteers at St. Bartholomew's Church in Manhattan, where the dinner occurred.

The Rev. Edward Sunderland called the unusual mealtime gathering a "smashing success." He said he hopes it will become a nationwide trend.

"When the food was passed we all became equal," he said.
