I find also very beautiful what your church and your community stand for: openmindedness, tolerance, freedom of spiritual research. In my country everything is quite different: almost everybody is catholic and you don't have a lot to choose!Luca Ozzanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14027594289333639286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8418939.post-14505454564377777172010-01-22T10:43:30.807-05:002010-01-22T10:43:30.807-05:00What a powerful meditation on loss and grieving.
