April 2015 Newsletter
“Sooner or later all of the people of the world will have to discover a way to live together in peace, and thereby transform this pending cosmic elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood …a man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.”
Martin Luther King December 10, 1964 Nobel Peace Prize Speech
