Beyond Tolerance

If you happened to be in the Port Richmond or Sunnyside neghborhoods on September 7th, you could have witnessed a strange sight. Coming out of a Baptist Church on Bennett Street were Jews and Hindu devotees, walking together. Coming out of a Synagouge on Post Ave were Buddhists and Catholics, walking together. At the Chapel of St. Nicholas in Sunnyside you could have witnessed Muslims and Baptists walking together. And at the new Hindu Temple on Victory Blvd the entire group continued to walk together. This is what can happen when we begin to not only tolerate our differences, but begin to move beyond tolerance and into the place where GOD (by the name you know him) would have us to be. NAMASTE, SHALOM, GRACE & PEACE, ASSALAMU ALAIKUM, PEACE, PEACE, PEACE
