WE ARE NOT ALONE.

These are words Rev. Steve often uses in our interfaith work. After the fabulous Interfaith Awareness Week, we truly realized we are not alone in this endeavor.
Interfaith work is being done by individuals like you and me all over the world, some in large ways and others in smaller ways. However we know there is not large or small
in GOD. All actions, all work, have significance, and helps not just one person, but ripples out to many others in ways we cannot even imagine.
Just like the Butterfly Effect, one small act of kindness, or one inclusive invitation to a person to join you at your table,
your interfaith or faith group flutters out around the world. Everyone feels the affect.

Ask yourself..
What can I do today to be more loving and inclusive?
Will I see someone who looks different from me and realize they are my brother and/or sister?
Will I see that person as a child of God?
Will I find out he or she has many life experiences similar to mine, and/or different than mine?
Will I learn from from him or her?
Will I be empathetic to his or her challenges?
Will I extend a hand in friendship?
Will I find a way to cooperate and collaborate with him or her on similar causes?
SAY YES, then watch where your BUTTERFLY WINGS take you today!

Inspiring Quotes:

“If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of Human relationships, the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together in the same
world at peace.”
Franklin D. Roosevelt

” We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”
Martin Luther King.

“He who experiences the unity of life, sees his own self in all beings.”
Gautama Buddha

“One must see in every human being only that which is worthy of praise.
When this is done, one can be a friend to the whole human race. If, however
we look at people from the standpoint of their faults, then being a friend to them is a formidable task….. Thus it is incumbent upon us, when we direct
our gaze toward other people, to see where they excel, not where they fail.”
Abdu’lBabha
