    Very nicely said, Clyde Gilbert.  That "quiet place" within is best
    developed without the ministry that comes with symbols.  Unlike you,
    I am uncomfortable with adornments of symbols---it becomes a
    proselytizing of sorts and an announcement of separation. 

    Yes, and the idea of "Universal Interfaith" is naive; there are too
    many of us with mosaics of beliefs that can't just fit into a
    symbol. A "World's Fair" or "Carnival" of energy and sharing the arts
    that come from our creative center should be the celebration.
