Dedication of Peace Pole on 9/11



















Today we attended a wonderful interfaith events at a local United Methodist Church. They invited the leaders from their neighborhood synagogue and mosque to help lead a service dedicated to peace among all. It was a beautiful gathering with people who were old and young, Christian, Muslim, and Jewish.

One of the readings said:
We commit ourselves to proclaiming our firm conviction that violence and terrorism are opposed to all true religious spirit and we condemn all recourse to violence and war in the name of god or religion. We undertake to do everything possible to eradicate the causes of terrorism. We commit ourselves to promote the culture of dialogue so that understanding and trust may develop among individuals and peoples as theses are the conditions of authentic peace.

Having this truly multi-cultural/mutli-religious gathering of good people committing together to work for peace….that was truly a blessing.

My peace fill the earth.
