OPENING STATEMENT
This work shop will be an open conversation about what each of our religious traditions bring to the discussion of growing environmental concerns world wide.
How do our doctrines, beliefs, scriptures, and faith based practices help us to understand our roles and responsibilities in this growing struggle to "Green the Earth" before it moves beyond our ability to heal the damage humanity is doing?

| We have just heard that Ralph Singh, whom many of you may know as a past NAIN board member, will be joining this workshop as a moderator for the discussion of models that we might use in the greening of the Earth.
Ralph has helped reclaim land to set up farms, helping to produce food for those in need. His story is inspiring and I hope that you will all join us and add your voice to the rising tide of those who would live in closer harmony with the Earth.

| Just back from 4 years in India, where I had lived originally from 1971 to 1976 - i will share wonderfully mystical lyrical revelations from Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji of our living environment and amazing experiences of how nature cooperates with positive development efforts to overcome poverty. All we have to do is learn to control our own "nature" and work positively and our home will heal quickly and provide abundance enough for everyone. From the contemplative to active community involvement, my new book, "A Path to Follow, A Life to Lead" speaks to connecting to the Voice which speaks within us all and lessons learned at the feet of one of the greatest spiritual Masters of our time, Baba Virsa Singh. please feel free to check out Gobi . . .
