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
