Paul Williams commented on The Parliament of Religions's blog post 'The Alchemy of Our Spiritual Leadership: Women Redefining Power'
Why do women have all the fun? Roaring in the woods re-discovering my "wild man" just doesn't do it for me, as either an individual or a group exercise. And twenty minutes in the lotus position just about locks up my knee joint. …

communing with fellow rose-sniffers! If you're too busy to smell the roses, maybe you've missed the point of spirituality.

Paul Williams commented on Connor Coyne's blog post 'My thoughts on the Lower Manhattan Islamic Center.'
I concur with this blogger's views. Now what do we do with the atheist Australian academic who rolled mock joints with pages of both the Koran and the Bible and smoked them? Fortunately Pastor Terry Jones (of the Dove World Outreach Centre)…

IF WE BELİEVE İN GOD WE ARE BROTHERS
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.
I would be pleased to see your own ideas and thoughts in the most possible time.

I would be pleased to see your own ideas and thoughts as soon as possible, so that we would like to pray for you to go to heaven

Hello Paul, Yes I am happy to be a friend on Peacenext.
You asked about the Omega Contemplative group. It started in 1980 by an Anglican Minister, in England. I'm not sure how long ago it came to birth in Australia, but I have been involved in the Melbourne group for well over 10 years. The main focus of the group is to go beyond the doctrines of Christianity and open up to experiencing the Presence of the Divine in our lives, and through meditation and contemplative practices to deepen our awareness of our True Nature , Deep Self, Spiritual Essence. It has it's roots in the more mystical aspects of Christianity but we are not limited in our explorations to Christianity alone , but draw inspiration from many other traditions & spiritual paths. We also foster the creative spirit within, and this is where I find a wonderfully welcoming home for my offerings of Dance as Prayer, & Art as Meditation.
The Parliament in Melbourne was a wonderful experience and I came away with a very positive feeling about the future . I had no idea that there were so many groups of people from many faiths all over the world who were reaching out to one another to find connections and to celebrate their differences - and so many young people. I found this very heartening.
As to specifics - I really enjoyed the session on Meditation, Healing and Neuroscience.That wasn't the title of it , but what the content was about. I am particularly interested in how healing is fascilitated through meditation. I teach a holistic form of Meditation using a variety of different techniques and practices influenced by Dance, Chi Kung, Yoga and other things.
I like your job title : Faith Connections Minister. Is that something you are actually doing or is it still in the formation process ? May your work flourish abundantly, Paul. Blessings, Marilyn

Hi Paul,
Deeply Implicit is an organisation that is involved in many different activities. It supports the books I have written, gives space for reflection and dialogue and allows me to pursue projects such as the Parliament and my latest endeavour in being Program Co-ordinator for the Building Bridges Program-which runs through Secondary Colleges giving students opportunity to meet with students from different faith backgrounds.

Deeply Implicit is very new and very much still finding its identity.

Thandk you so much for your interest. You can look at our website at www.deeplyimplicit.com.

Hi Paul

Good to be in contact.

If you would like to find out more about the Awakening Network I'm involved in you can go to www.biamenetwork.net.au. We are in the process of a name change so this website name will change fairly soon to ( I think) www.theawakeningnetwork.net.au. New name, content the same.

The Parliament was a special event wasn't it.

Bye for now
Zoe

Dear Paul,
I'm glad you're intrigued (and approving). My jurisdiction (OCCA) is part of a broader Independent Sacramental movement. We are not under the authority of the Roman Catholic pope. We have our own leadership.
The best way to find out all the details regarding our history, apostolic succession and criteria for ordination is by visiting our web site:
www.orthodoxcatholicchurch.org
Blessings and well-wishes,

Francesca+
