Comments on: Interfaith Center Spearheads Effort to Honor the Deceased http://irdialogue.org/articles/interfaith-center-spearheads-effort-to-honor-the-deceased-by-joshua-stanton/ The website of the Journal of Inter-Religious Dialogue Mon, 16 Apr 2012 02:48:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Mike Ghouse http://irdialogue.org/articles/interfaith-center-spearheads-effort-to-honor-the-deceased-by-joshua-stanton/comment-page-1/#comment-9218 Mike Ghouse Thu, 28 Jan 2010 20:30:52 +0000 http://irdialogue.org/?p=2428#comment-9218 This is a beautiful story of valuing the otherness of other, in this case, Muslims, Buddhist and Jews valuing the Hindu traditions. It is time to plant the seeds for a new paradigm and embark on bold initiatives to do our share of repairing the world. The faith leaders can join together and embolden our commitment to co-existence and well being of every human being. The change is coming, the paradigm is moving from exclusive to inclusive societies. In our life time collective blame on religions will become a thing of the past and individuals will be held responsible for their acts and not their family, neighborhood, community, nation or their religion. It is a sure way to find justice, as religions are intangibles that cannot be punished or hung and justice never happens and societal balance is seldom achieved. The idea of Pluralism will gain momentum in 2010 and we are humbly preparing to give direction to it. We are far from being civilized, the biggest change on the political scene is the election of Obama; a totally new paradigm in politics of the world, where the governance is placed in the hands of moderate for the first time in the history of mankind. The same process will permeate in religion, societies and other aspects of society.
