May I suggest a very slight amendment to to St.D’s statement, “All people, regardless of belief. Love, respect and upholding the dignity of each individual.”

Don’t hold ya breath, that’s like a Grand Wizard speaking at a Black Panther meeting.
Some things are just sacrilegious in our society and the word AGAPE LOVE overused.

How can these”leaders” expect we sinners to work together etc when they cannot sort out their own differences? It’s called leading by example.
I am still waiting for a Roman Catholic Bishop to preach in an Adventist church. Or for an Adventist pastor to preach in a Roman Catholic church.
The list goes on…………

First we need to confront the subliminal and hypocritical war in Bermuda of Racial Denial, Religious Indifference, Economic Discrimination and Social Apartheid until then we’re just pissing in the wind.

I wonder how long it’s gonna take for Spiritual Leaders to eradicate Easter from their vocabulary which is a Pagan terminology.
Most wars that occurred in the world were from Religion or a Superior ideological Belief .
Most occasions are commercialized and its all about the $$$.
Love is treating people how they treat you we’ve been duped into Loving people even though they persecute you and do all manner of evil against you, that’s how indigenous people lost their land and Culture and in Bermuda were there is a superficial image of unity where we’ve still not healed from centuries of economic and social injustice.
Happy Pagan Day

war … army … fight

Sounds familiar.

Which of God’s people are you referring to? Does that include Muslims? Hindus? Buddhists? Is everyone else excluded?

There are enough armies out there fighting on His behalf. Do we really need more armies fighting more wars in order to spout their rhetoric and shove it down everyone else’s throat?

The statement of love and respect is a worthy one. It stands on its own.

Wonderful! The church (God’s people) needs to bond and work together on behalf of all mankind. A war is being waged and God needs all members of His army to unite and fight on His behalf. What a great display of respect and responsibility. May you all have a blessed Easter.

The human condition (family).Well put…..There comes a point when you have to realise that you’ll never be good enough for some people.
The question is.
Is that your problem or theirs.On common ground observances should be meeted ,things of mutual interest ….treat others as you would be treated…..I try to …..pay it forward …so to speak…at least three times a day.You would be suprised what just a smile and a frindly greeting will do to the prospective of the recipient.It is an investmet you actually make for your self .If a large quantity of people just made concerted effort to observe common courtesy…i think it also serves yourself at a base level too……well today Suzoosh rises….oh happy day!
