I have attended the Parliament of Religions:
Never
Website:

I have come to PeaceNext looking for:
networking, interreligious exploration
I am inspired by:
the thought of four billion people, steadfastly, and with the voice of their spiritual leaderships and interfaith councils, publicly demanding peace through compassion, social justice, and sustainability.
My favorite spiritual places:
my garage, because it is chock full of diverse elements which contribute to the operational harmony of my life, each one of which can at any moment be inspirational, and none of which is attempting or created to, influence me in any way whatsoever..

urban public transit, for pretty much the same reasons, more human.
Interreligious causes I care about:
"Religious communities are the largest and best-organized civil institutions in the world, claiming the allegiance of billions across race, class, and national divides." --Religions for Peace
About Me:
My spirituality is informed and inspired by all sacred experience.

"Hello Hibby! I pretty much stick with the "love one another" theme which nicely incorporates the commandments given to Moses. "

Hi, How do you want to learn about Yoruba spirituality? There are some great books, especially about the Yoruba culture; some universities t Yoruba courses and there are practitioners who are willing to share information via the internet. Thank you for accepting me as a new friend. How about the Memnosyne Foundation on your list...we do great work...smile.

Hail Maynard,
Greetings of one love and honour...Yes the PWR is the closest thing today to FU and that's exactly my idea.I think the PWR should take its responsibility more seriously and be more proactive and decisive and take the next step/leap of Faith and constitute the balance to the political governance in the international community.
JAH bless my brother

AYA
