The Value of Patient and Loving Interfaith Dialogue; Paula Thompson and Ann Garner

This week host Andre is absent on business; Paula will do the Cosmic Citizen broadcast with her friend Ann Garner.
    Ann has been on our broadcast before and is uniquely qualified to share her experiences in Interfaith activities. She has been actively engaged in interfaith work for 16 years. She has worked extensively with Thanks Giving Square in Dallas, TX, and has been an active member of the Thanks-Giving Foundation’s Interfaith Council since 1995. A minister and a long-time student of the Urantia teachings, Ann has many personal friends from all faith traditions.
    We examine what it means to achieve a “thoroughgoing understanding of your neighbor's motives and sentiments.” The inclusive spirit of Jesus will also be highlighted, who reiterated many times that we must all learn to use the positive and righteous method of overcoming evil with good.
    You are invited to call and share your reflections regarding the value of interfaith dialogue and/or your personal experiences finding common ground with other religionists. Please keep in mind that this week’s show is not to accentuate problems; rather, it’s about finding peaceful solutions. We look forward to exploring how we, as peace loving second-milers, can reach forth to grasp our brothers in love and sweep them on “under spiritual guidance toward the higher and divine goal of mortal existence.”
