Dialogue on Diversity UK was conceived at a meeting of Christian, Jewish, Muslim and secular NGOs in July 2002. Representatives were discussing ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and the negative repercussions on interfaith relations in the UK. They thought about their potential to help counter these tensions and their conclusion was a commitment to run an interfaith education project in partnership

"The price of the democratic way of life is a growing appreciation of people's differences, not merely as tolerable, but as the essence of a rich and rewarding human experience."

I recently spoke at the World Future Society meeting in Minneapolis (and made it across the bridge safely) and came across a wonderful diversity calendar from Orison Publishers - www.worlddiversitycalendar.com so I wanted to recommend it. How can we be diverse if we don't even know about the holidays of other cultures?

Peace,
Earon
