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.
