It is 2014. It it sad people cant just respect one another. And share in their traditions. Sharing your culture with one another is not a bad thing. It breeds friendship and respect and comeradery to learn about where each other comes from. Either everyone gets to participate or no one should. That is the law. Every faith group no matter how misunderstood should be able to lead the meeting in prayer or just not do it at all. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. Abraham Joshua Heschel: The problem to be faced is: how to combine loyalty to ones own tradition with reverence for different traditions. This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness. --- The Dalai Lama And so we ask for peace for the gods of our fathers, for the gods of our native land. It is reasonable that whatever each of us worships is really to be considered one and the same. We gaze up at the same stars, the sky covers us all, the same universe compasses us. What does it matter what practical systems we adopt in our search for the truth. Not by one avenue only can we arrive at so tremendous a secret. --- Symmachus, Quintus Aurelius
