Thanks Chris,

We have had friends of all faiths and denominations, and plenty of Christians, as that is the majority in this country. Many of them have expressed your same sentiments, consternation and sadness over those many who are untollerant and uncharitable, and a personal love and desire to be enriched by acceptance and experience.

Of course there are Pagans who are untollerant, but one of the things I love about our extended community of Pagan folks, is the general tone of acceptance. Due to our beliefs, they intrinsically encourage acceptance and respect of the beliefs of others.

The article I mentioned in a recent post, called "There Is A Pagan in Your Classroom" is actually an excellent overview of what it means to be Pagan in general. Any of you who are curious about this subject, or want to learn more should check it out at

I read it in full today and found that it pretty much describes us to a "T."

Love and Light,
Nanci K.
