QUOTES

My commitment is to global healing through personal transformation, community-building, interfaith, intercultural, and interdisciplinary understanding, strategic omni-local nonviolence education, and compassionate activism.

“Our unique spiritual and religious beliefs are among the most critical raw materials of global society; without this rich diversity, civilization as we know it would not exist. Our challenge is to celebrate the miracle of multiplicity while practicing new demonstrations of how our distinctive belief systems can complement one another in sustaining the human experience of the sacred, rather than perpetuating conflict and competition for one prevailing belief system over and above another.”

“Religious and spiritual belief systems shape worldviews that, in turn, determine cultural norms. A powerful argument for genuine cultural evolution is that prevailing human values, assumptions and behaviors are moving us steadily toward a planet-wide values shift, with profound implications for religion, spirituality and personal development. Emerging are ways in which our wisdom traditions can interface with the world’s critical issues, gradually allowing us to discard outmoded interpretations of ‘religious isolationism’ and the destructive patterns it has sometimes unleashed.”
