One God, Many Paths
"In any way that men love me in that same way they find my love: for many are the paths of men, but they all in the end come to me."  (Bhagavad-Gita 4:11)

My faith is Christian, Episcopalian in particular.  I admit to a healthy respect for and appreciation of other faiths, both Christian and non-Christian; and I wish that instead of fighting about which is the true religion, people could seek the commonality of their faiths.  I think they would be surprised to find that they aren't so different after all.

Cathedrals
I love cathedrals!  When I lived in Alexandria, VA, one of my favorite places to visit was the National Cathedral.  Where else will you find a moon rock in a stained glass window and a grotesque of Darth Vader carved into stone!

I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.  (John 10:16)

"...once we accept religion, then we must follow it very sincerely, very genuinely. Through that way, the different religious traditions can promote, can achieve harmony."  (His Holiness the Dalai Lama, July 2, 2000)

Then I was standing on the highest mountain of them all, and round about beneath me was the whole hoop of the world.8  And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw; for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things in the spirit, and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being. And I saw that the sacred hoop of my people was one of many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all the children of one mother and one father. And I saw that it was holy.

8Black Elk said the mountain he stood upon in his vision was Harney Peak in the Black Hills. - "But anywhere is the center of the world - he added."
