I am reading a great book on the history of religious/spiritual groups that have had positive influences on peacemaking around the world. Book is titled ; 'Religion, the Missing Dimension of Statecraft' edited by D. Johnston and C. Sampson. What a wake-up call to Boomers and later generations that spiritual persons or groups with no agenda but reconciliation have played significant roles in effecting peace/reconciliation/accords/treaties, etc.
Christians work alongside Muslims - Jews - Buddhists - with one goal: non-violent solutions to peaceful existence.
Also just finished Deepak Chopra's 'The Third Jesus' and thought it was pretty good. Anyone else interested in commenting?

Miss you up here. Just got back from St. Maarten last night, so we were here for the Souper Bowl lunch. Well attended and the kids did a good job. Please pray for Bob and Kay. (You know who they are). Bob left the church in an ambulance and I haven't heard anything tonight. Love to you both. Betsy
