At this moment of history, when religious conflicts have reemerged with lethal consequences for each other and our planet,

God has given our spiritual and religious traditions the gift of time.

October, 2005 begins a Confluence of Sacred Seasons for the Abrahamic traditions, including:

Ramadan for Muslims, the High Holy Days for Jews, and World Communion Day for Christian Faiths

This spiritual gift is a unique opportunity to pray alongside each other and to work together  for peace, justice, human rights, and the healing of our wounded hearts and the earth.
