Why Interfaith?
This world needs lots of love, but love alone will not do it. It needs understanding and respect of those like us and those who are different from us. The more we know the easier it will be to understand. The more we understand, the easier it will be to respect. The more we respect, the greater the peace. The greater the peace, the easier it will be to love, and one day that love will be unconditional.

Favorite quote (Sacred text, story, poem, other)
Be kind. Do all things, even the little things, with great and unconditional love.
