We so appreciate your consistent participation in this collegial dialogue, Isobel. Your voice is so often a reminder of who we are as a global body. You also come as a corrective ( whether you intend that or not). May we continue to know our connectedness as we enter the New Year. A bit ago, we saw photos of Sydney harbor as it lit up for 2013. We have three hours and twenty minutes left in 2012 here in the Eastern Time Zone of the U.S. In the hope that our care radiates throughout 2013.

Dear Colleagues across the world,
We send greetings to you all, and a special thought to those who have lost loved family members or special friends during the year.
Some of us in our Church took part in a world wide singalong with the Good Earth Singers- with a synchronised time- ( ours was last Saturday morning at 9am, when we were streamed live to Washington DC, Cuba and Ecuador. We sang a song from Nigeria- with the words in English meaning- we respect and love Mother Earth, and she cannot be destroyed. Some of you may have heard of Shyla Nelson- she runs interfaith workshops all over the US and teaches this song to groups. Google has her listed as One Earth One Voice.
It was a wonderful expression of our interconnectedness....
May 2013 bring some more signs of hope, as this symbol of singing to the planet and all living beings- has done for us gathered last Saturday in the PItt St Church and beyond.
Grace and peace, Isobel Bishop ______________________________**_________________ OE mailing list OE@lists.wedgeblade.net http://lists.wedgeblade.net/**listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net<http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net>
