Reverend Sandy Clark, D.D., a mentor and
friend sent me the multifaith calendar every year. She left the earth plane and
to honor her Spirit I am now ordering my own and using excerpts of it for our
monthly updates. This organization does such a terrific job. I recommend them
highly. www.multifaithcalendar.org produced by the Multifaith Action Society.
One of my favorite quotes is by Ram Dass “We are
all just walking each other home.” When we learn about other cultures, religions,
and nations we become fellow humans on this beautiful planet called earth.
