enriching the journey
other faiths, traditions
all of us on a path
each one seeking our God.
we deepen our understanding
exploring with others
seeing God more clearly
through another’s eyes.
joining together, sharing,
iron sharpening iron
challenging weak
assumptions
growing in our faith.
we have a gift, precious,
communion with others
each on our own journey
the pathway of faith.
coming
together from
different
faith traditions
we
can learn so much
if
we will only listen.
learning more about prayer
about sacrifice, meaning,
so much the same
but we focus on the difference.

I have seen several other pieces on the internet about
the back story to some of the people we judge,
how we don’t know
what they have been through or
are going through.
Here are just a couple:
