And how!<BR/><BR/>Sounds like a really cool event yesterday! I wish I had/made more time for things like that.<BR/><BR/>I'm reminded of a conversation I had with a pastor a few years ago. I suggested, "What if we joined with the local Jewish and Muslim groups for a community-wide, interfaith dinner and clothes drive?" <BR/><BR/>He said, "Oh, I don't think that's a good idea. We could join with other churches, but involving other religions compromises our message."<BR/><BR/>Really? Kindness can compromise kindness? Love compromises love? <BR/><BR/>There are some acts, universal in nature and in language. Your community celebration dinner sounds like one such event.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08898344279654975005noreply@blogger.com
