Status: MemberDescription: Hello Beliefnet! I am his holiness, the Guru Pitka. I am the orphaned child of two American missionaries who after dying left me at a remote Indian village, where I was adopted by the great Guru Tugginmapuddah, and raised to travel the world, healing all emotional woes, free trapped souls from their internal torment, and offer my own brand of spiritual road map for those who seek it. And if YOU seek my spiritual road map this is the group for you! I encourage questions and discussions about loving, feeling, being, my best selling books ("If you're happy and you know it, think again," "Eight days to happiness in six weeks" and many others), playing the sitar, marshmallow yummies for your heart tummy or anything that moves you.

Status: MemberDescription: How are you feeling about how religion is addressed within politics? Author Amy Sullivan shares some of her research and ideas in her new book, THE PARTY FAITHFUL about the matter. In the book, Sullivan tells the story of how the Democratic Party distanced itself from religion and came close to losing its soul in the process. More importantly, it highlights essential changes that need to be made--and are beginning to be made--before the Democratic Party can respond to the very real moral concerns of voters, and win the White House. THE PARTY FAITHFUL is the February 2008 featured book for the Exploring Faith Book Club. Sign up now and join the conversation!

(Linda has put me {Sean} as group moderater because she has taken a study on the Bible that will take most of her time. Contact her for more info. If you have any questions let me know. I hope Linda injoys her studies and will be back with us soon.)

Name:Status: MemberDescription: One humanity, One life, Unity, with diversity, with duality, with polemics. Truely universal religion, or truth, is not something you can convert to, but merely become aware of and accept. I would say it is that which we have without choice except that it is still our choices that determine what it is, and to some degree we choose whether or not to accept it. We have each other, all of us, and there is truth in all of us. We have each other's culture and tradition, and there is truth and beauty in all of it. We have each other's safety and welfare, and everyone's love of goodness as they best know. We have love and we are home.
Check out my book Kingdom Come Now It probably isn't what you might think. -
Name:Status: MemberDescription: A meeting place where all who worship the One God will feel welcomed and loved. Many draw a circle to shut us out; We are called Heretics, rebels, outcasts, and more. The Unitarian Community though has the wit to know; We'll draw a circle to take them in. It does not matter whether you affirm or deny, the One is still the One. We have Faith that the ONE is for All of Us

Name:Status: MemberDescription: This is an interfaith group who's members are from different spiritual paths and who share their perspectives on various religious topics. Proselytizers need not apply (our first rule) -- there is a difference between sharing your faith's perspective and trying to convince another participant to switch to your faith. At the same time, the emphasis is on discussing what you do believe and / or practice, not on what you don't believe, as we are not a debate group (we are not into wrong making, and this is our second rule.) Our third rule is to share page space in the discussion threads, to allow others to participate, the same way it is done with in-person group discussions.
