This event is part of a Parliament of World Religions process of hosting gatherings around the world prior to their December World Parliament in Melbourne, Australia.


Several in Portland will be taking what we learn from this event to Melbourne, and returning to share what we've learned in a Post-Parliament event intended to further energize our work


Our intent is to gather the wisdom of this area in terms of the ethics and activities we share. Please go to our own event web page to learn more and to print a flyer that we hope you will post, extract information for announcements in your organization bulletin, and forward to friends.


This event will be highly interactive and engaging--no panels or speakers--and we hope each person will make new friends across the region and deepen existing relationships. Please confirm your attendance by RSVPing from the website so we can include you in our food and beverage planning.


We hope to see you July 26th at the First Methodist Church on SW 18th and Columbia from 4-7PM.
"Men occasionally stumble over the truth,
but most of them pick themselves up and
hurry off as if nothing ever happened."
Sir Winston Churchill
British politician (1874 - 1965)

A message from AbleChild: A Non-profit parents rights organization


Defeat Mother's Act by Mother's Day!

Please Take Action and Call Your Representative


Ablechild has been following The Mother's Act, a bill that clearly violates informed consent and places mothers and children at risk. This bill would mandate the government to screen all new mothers for subjective mental conditions. We would like to update you on this act and request that you take the time to familiarize yourself with it.

Ablechild strongly opposes The Mother's Act. This special interest bill entitled The Mother's Act should fool NO MOTHER into thinking it is harmless! It is truly lethal. Take a look

Every call, fax and e-mail to your representative counts. It is simple. Tell them you strongly oppose the Mothers Act by going here.

For more information and understanding of this act and the consequences that could result if this form of legislation gets passed into law please view http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=UNWXwErgBGn5s6citW40QEqDTBFwulIY

Once again, thank you for making a difference!
