Local churches have had their pastors and priests have periodic meet and greets and breakfasts once a month, kind of things forever.

I lived in a small town central New York all of the Churches got together for community outreach. Each of them took a separate area and made that the focus of their ministry so to reduce/ eliminate duplication of effort. All of them participated except for one of the Baptist groups. The Lutherans did the food pantry, two of the other Baptists took care of the clothing/ household items/ etc...

Both the Catholics took care of the Holiday outreach. The best was there was no sheep poaching.

Yes, but what I actually meant was that priests and pastors of different denominations actually once every month or two, got together for a breakfast somewhere together. Not to do anything religious, but just to kind of stay in touch/keep up on what was going on. They all have feelers out and know what’s going on in their communities and generally who does what, etc.
