Texting? Nexting?

Started Nov 23, 2009 0 Replies

'Texting' is a computer term... well, sort-of. Cell phones are computers right? And when you send a text message from your cell, you're 'texting.'I wonder if this all means that we're all 'nexting'…Continue

I have come to PeaceNext looking for:
networking, interreligious advocacy, interreligious exploration, intrareligious reflection, friendship
I am inspired by:
- My wife, my daughter, and all my family and friends
- The wonderful people work, who give so much of their sweat and energy day-by-day and month-by-month.
- The Book of Ecclesiastes
- The Mysteries of Udolpho by Ann Radcliffe
My favorite spiritual places:
In Michigan: The Porcupine Mountains
In New York City: The Met and Inwood Park

In Romania: The cities of Szec, Cluj, Ploiesti, Bucuresti, and Iasi

In Flint: The Atlas Coney Island, and the Flint Cultural Center, and Chevrolet St. in Mott Park.
Interreligious causes I care about:
the Environment, Social Justice: Alleviating Poverty, Hunger, and advocating for Universal Health Care.
Changes I am working toward in my community:
The social services corridor at Lawrence and Sheridan is absolutely critical to many who would otherwise go without in Chicago; I want religious and non-religious organizations to support it as rigorously as they can.
About Me:
I am a writer (of weird and ghostly things) but I am also the Outreach Manager for the Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions.
I am a Catholic Socialist from Flint, Michigan.
I have lived in Chicago and New York City, and am a founding member of the Gothic Funk Nation.
I am happily married and blessed with many friends and a rock-solid family.

The Catechism has some juicy and challenging passages (836-845) on the relationship of the Church to other denominations and faiths. The books of Ruth, Job and New Testament letters take a circumspect view. Let's learn about ourselves and each other!

My thoughts on the Lower Manhattan Islamic Center.

Posted on September 8, 2010 at 11:30am 2 Comments

Funny. I posted this entry on another social network I belong to -- the very different site "VampireFreaks.com." We're having an engaging conversation on the much abused Ground Zero Mosque Park 51. My thoughts below.

What I Think I Heard in the Heat.

Posted on July 19, 2010 at 9:42pm 5 Comments

Christianity and Social Justice

Posted on March 12, 2010 at 2:30am 2 Comments

Catching the PeaceNext Bug.

First, our PeaceNext Beta Group has well surpassed 100 people from around the world representing a great many faith traditions and personal experiences. I am very excited when I log in, and there's already a wealth of great content here.



Second, I want to post a link to a video that I originally uploaded as a test several weeks ago. If you watch this you may be skeptical of the numbers and citations... don't doubt them. They are real. And while social networks are not really distinct… Continue

My name is called as Engin AKSU. I am the writer myself and living in the city Kütahya in Türkiye. Also I work as a Turkish teacher in my own country. "Divine Brotherhood" was published by Red Lead Press in 2007 and it is open to sales in Amazon.com now.

The events in the book take place in London İn England. The Preface of the book has been written by Hasan KUŞÇUOĞLU.
Galip Hasan KUŞÇUOĞLU focusses on Love, Peace and Brotherhood for a new start in the life and a new way to live in his books and sayings in the web-site www.galibi.com .
Can you share your thoughts with us by looking into www.galibi.com or searching on him in the frame of Religions' Diologue.
