Sometimes I agree with friends about their
faith, but not their politics . . . sometimes I disagree with friends
about their stance on gun control but not on their taste in art . . .
sometimes I don't agree about anything, but I still love that
person . . . please let's work harder to honor, respect, tolerate and
be kind to one another -- and please let's live out of love . . . not
fear and hate . . . tolerance, not prejudice and condemnation . . .
honor and respect, not oppression and conceit . . . I know we can . . .
step by step, smile by smile, person by person . . .

Was blessed to spend my student pastor internship here with my big brother in ministry -- Rev Dr Charlie Parker:
Bread for the City
* * * *
And during The National Capital Semester for Seminarians (NCSS) at Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, D.C., in the fall of 1992, we visited Bread for the World --
NCSS
* * * *
The opening event for NCSS was a luncheon at the Capitol hosted by the U.S. Senate Chaplain (at the time during the first Bush administration, it was Chaplain Halvorsen) --
US Senate Chaplain
* * * *
Each of us introduced ourselves. We were from several denominations, from several seminaries . . . a Quaker, a man from Nicaragua who also thought he would be president there some day . . . an ultra-Conservative Methodist from Arizona . . . a sharpshooting woman from the National Rifle Association . . . three Hispanic women . . . several African American men . . . no . . now I am mixing up the Urban Ministry Track folks with the NCSS folks.
In those days at WTS we had students from South Africa, Uganda, and several West African countries. We had many fellow students from Korea and many who were Korean Americans. By the time I left in 1996, we also had students from Russia, Ukraine . . . Western Europe . . . Unitarian Universalists, Episcopalians, AME, AMEZ . . . Presbyterians, about half were baby boomners and about half were women . . . very interesting.
