As an ordained minister in a spiritual congregation, I am putting out this call for all ministers, priests, pastors and all religious and spiritual leaders to come together in the Unity of Love.  Please share this with people of all religions and faiths in every way that you can.  Send it to e-mail lists and websites, print and fax and/or mail it, and even deliver it in person if you belong to a congregation or know someone who does.

Thanks and Blessings to You,               September 17, 2005

                               A Call to the Clergy

We invite all of those who hold positions of leadership in the Christian religions to henceforth, and from this moment on, teach the true teachings of Jesus the Christ.  That which he came to teach was Unity, with Love being the unifying factor.  That which he came to teach was Peace in all circumstances, as opposed to that which is called war and that which you in the clergy have been leaders in defining as "Holy War."  There is no such thing.

We ask you to come together into a recognition of the sacredness of all life upon this planet and we ask that you become leaders and that you provide an example, by your words, by your teachings, by your thoughts and intents, and by your actions.  We ask that you be leaders for those whom you have taken responsibility for leading and that you provide an example, and teachings from yourselves, to all of those whom you are in a position to lead.

And that you in turn invite your congregations to themselves become leaders in this movement,  and it would be most appropriate if you would put in your own words declarations of the primary teachings, the most fundamental teachings of Jesus the Christ.  Examples are:  “Inasmuch as Ye have done it to the least of my Brethren, so also have Ye done it to Me.”  “Love Thy neighbor as Thyself.”  And you can provide more. 

This is the path to Love, this is the path to Unity, this is the path to recognizing the Oneness in all Creation.  This is the path to honoring Creator God and all of his marvelous creations, yourselves included.  This is the time to come Home. This is the time to let the Love speak through your voices, from your pulpits and your other places where people gather to listen to what you have to tell them. 

This is the time for Truth and this is the time for the Love to Light the World, and we are calling upon you to be the leading lights in this movement to Home.  And this Beloveds, is the Second Coming Realized.  Allow the Light of Christ to shine through you, through your words, and through your teachings and your deeds.  And invite all who come to you to do the same, and the world will truly be at Peace, and Love shall be supreme upon the planet, and you shall be the leaders to the Kingdom of Heaven.  And so it is.

   (We offer a very insightful article for understanding how we may all be vulnerable in what we hide within us, and the need for truth, starting with ourselves.)
