Re: Opening a Space for Peace in Burundi & Central Africa

Harrison and Artur, I agree with Artur when he says "the love for humanity should be the only thing to refer on that matter " According to me doing something for "the love of humanity" or for "the love of Allah" or " for the love of christ" "to serve humans" or "to serve religion" have compl

Carlos -- Working too hard are you? I know the feeling, but when I felt that way myself it usually turned out that I was working too hard trying to make things right, whatever "right" might mean. In your case, it sounded like you had to come up with "results." And not only results -- but results of

Funda, I can't answer your question directly because I don't know. They certainly promote peace. Beyond that, the best I can do is send Mike Seymour's trip report from his visit to Burundi. (below) I'm glad you found the ideas of value. from cold, rainy Seattle, Peggy August 28, 2004 Mike

Re: Opening a Space for Peace in Burundi & Central Africa

Funda -- since the organizations involved are Christian, I would guess that something about the Love of Christ might show up -- but I think you could substitute the Love of Allah and arrive at the same place. Actually I think the love humanity would do just as well. I really don't think anybody has

Re: A question about OS listserv

Re: A question about OS listserv

Very interesting questions, Peggy (and Juanita). I have been thinking about questions similar to those ones after some time. Being part or having been part of many mailing lists, Web forums and other e-tools (not to speak about the old BBS's); being the moderator of some, very active in one or
