Hi! I thought it was so funny to see you on here because you came up in some informal research that I was doing a few weeks ago. Around the beginning of September, I became very interested in Ellen G. White, and I actually ended up going to the Spectrum/ Adventist Forums conference over Labor Day Weekend. I come from the Latter-day Saint religious tradition where a lot of writing has been done to try and encapsulate the beauty/ innovation of Joseph Smith's articulated vision...I was trying to find a similar account for Ellen G. White but was running into difficulty. Perhaps that's because I didn't know where to look, or perhaps it's because Adventists have a slightly different way of relating to White than Mormons do with regards to Joseph Smith. At any rate, one of the few best leads that I happened upon was to find out that apparently you wrote some sort of Master's or PhD dissertation about White. Would you perhaps be willing to share a copy of that paper, if you have one? My email address is kekpenyong[at]gmail[dot]com. 

Best wishes in any case. Just so interesting to run into you again on here...

Hi Graeme:

It is great to see you at PeaceNext Website!

When I think of you, the word "Love, Peace, Joy" comes to mind first.

You have been constant with you Philosophy and Beliefs.

Thank You! for being who you are.  You were a good influence to me back in 2004, I wasn't even aware of it until later.  You were born to represent Peace and Love on Earth.  All of us are called to Love, to Peace, but some would need someone like you to lit the fire that light maybe seen.

I wish you happiness, good health, and success to all your endeavors.

Love, Peace & Joy!

Dear Graeme, Thank you for the invitation to be part of Parliament Media. I don't actually have any of the skills you need , having only just learnt how to do very basic things on the computer. I do however love to write and have had an idea for a couple of years, to compile a book of spiritual experiences & practices of people from different religions. Maybe it has already been done a thousand times, but it swims around in my head just the same. Thanks for your great photos of the parliament and good luck with your valuable work, Blessings to you, Marilyn

Dear Graeme,

I was at the Melbourne Parliament but don't think we met! I would like to invite you to the Universal Hour of Peace at the School of Metaphysics in Chicago. It's at 10 pm December 31st. We bring in the New Year with thoughts of peace, a guided meditation, and prayers and blessings for peace from different faith traditions. People all over the world join us in reading the Universal Peace Covenant at midnight. This is a document that emerged from our participation in the 1993 parliament in Chicago.

You can learn more about the School of Metaphysics at www.som.org and about the Universal Hour of Peace at www.peacedome.org. Call us at 773-427-0155 in Chicago or 630-739-1329 in Bolingbrook or email chicago@som.org to find out details and location for the Universal Hour of Peace in Chicago.

Blessings to you!
Laurel Clark

Thank you very much, Graeme, both for your kind remarks as well as uploading the pictures. I think I found them all, copied them and saved them on WORD document! Your pictures are great, not just of me, but all the others you have posted. I also enjoyed looking at pictures from previous Parliaments. Did you attend the ones in Barcelona & Cape Town? I attended the Barcelona one and recognized some people and venues. Well, thank you again, and if you ever come to Los Angeles or Southern California, please contact me so we can meet.
With Best Wishes, always ...
John
