Since 2005, The F.L.O.W. (For Love Of the World) began as a dialogue between three men, Marc Collins, Angelo Hunt and Roy Frank sharing their feelings regarding their past relationships. Through their dialogue Marc, Angelo and Roy forged a bond that is not common among men. The discussions quickly moved from telephone conversations, to the Internet with male and female participants, to monthly forums held in a variety of venues bringing men and women together to discuss relationships. The Flow (For Love Of The World) is a relationship dialogue consisting of an online internet forum (www.flow4theworld.com) and regularily scheduled relationship events where there are discussions regarding such topics as “Why Men Fear Love & Intimacy”; “Sex, Religion & Spirituality”; “ Are You Ready For a Relationship?”; among others. F.L.O.W. events provide a platform where fundamental relationship issues are candidly discussed that go beyond “baby momma drama”. Originally from the New York Metro Area, Marc, Angelo and Roy came together to share their knowledge of relationship pitfalls, challenges and successes. . The Flow Advocates: * One of the Prime Relationships is with yourself: Having a healthy, loving relationship with yourself is a key to successful relationships. * We are complete within ourselves: Relationships should enhance who we are not complete us. * Relationships are experiences that allow us to grow and redefine ourselves, if we choose. * We are responsible for our choices and consequently our relationship outcomes

Rev. Leon Bailey, a non-demoninational minister, will be a part of In Spirit, a new internet radio segment to air in November on Heart of the Matter, the Relationship Magazine on blogtalkradio, www.blogtalkradio.com/the-flow. In Spirit will be an ongoing conversation regarding relationships, religion and spirituality. In Spirit, wiil explore the profound disconnect between religion and sexuality. How did that rift come into existence and why do the issues of sex, sexuality and alternative lifestyles generate such hate, confusion, and seperation.
The current landscape of relationships is rapidly shifting and changing. There are far more challenges in society today than there were just a few decades ago. Depending upon your upbringing and your life choices, your experience of what is fitting and proper in your personal relationships can differ vastly from others. In fact, that is the cast for most people - there is no such thing as one size (or type of relationship) fits all.
Looking back to the era of the 60's when there was the Woodstock generation and ‘free love,’ people were just beginning to ‘come out of the closet’ and declare their choice for ‘alternative’ lifestyles. Those times reflected so many struggles on so many levels and to this day, there are a number of people who are still sorting out how to resolve the societal demands of these choices.
Now add to the mix the consideration of religion or it's absence and leading a spiritual life. How do these often conflicting frames of reference impact relationships and marriages of people from different religious traditions. What about people who may be agnostic or atheist? What about gay or lesbian partners and a particular faith tradition? What about transgender people and their religious affiliations and needs? Is there a consideration for these other ways of thinking in our different faith traditions? These considerations are all inside of the context of relationship and the challenge is how do we reconcile these relationships in the context of relating to our individual conceptions of God?
These and other topics are not to be shied away from, because they represent creations of God and our neighbors in this global community. We are them and they are us. In essence, we are inseparable and all related. Join us in this ongoing discussion In Spirit at www.blogtalkradio.com/the-flow.
