With less than 5% of the world’s
population, the United States produces more than 25% of the global greenhouse
gas emissions, and those emissions continue to grow. One of URI’s North
America Cooperation Circles, The Orange County Interfaith Coalition for the
Environment (OCICE), believes that US cities can, and should act to reduce
green house gas emissions. The organization is deeply concerned about the
effects of Global Warming and what each individual can do to help solve the
global climate crisis.

Jerusalem. For an outsider looking in, it appeared to be a completely normal
gathering of teenage girls. As they piled into the room, they were
laughing about parties they had been to, complaining about teachers in
school, and worrying about upcoming tests. The only difference was that
these girls were about to begin the first meeting of the TRUST-Emun
project entitled TeenTalk–Teens Discuss Religion.

Seeds of Peace CC Journeys to Wadi Rum Desert |

Wadi Rum Desert, Jordan. A journey to Wadi Rum is a journey to
another world. A vast, silent place, timeless and starkly beautiful, Wadi Rum
is one of Jordan's
main tourist attractions. One of the most stunning deserts in the world, Wadi
Rum lies 320 km southwest of Amman,
120 km south of Petra, and only 68 km north of Aqaba.
Uniquely shaped massive mountains rise vertically out of the pink desert sand,
which separate one dark mass from another in a magnificent desert scene of breathtaking
beauty, with towering cliffs of weathered stone. The faces of the sheer rock
cliffs have been eroded by the wind into faces of men, animals and monsters. Wadi
Rum is probably best known because of its connection with the enigmatic British
officer T.E. Lawrence, who was based here during the Great Arab Revolt of
1917-18, and as the setting for the film that carried his name "Lawrence
of Arabia."

Jerusalem. Last week I hosted a TRUST
WIN CC meeting in my home with the participation of our Muslim coordinator and
in partnership with Eliyahu McLean of the Jerusalem Peacemakers CC. Attending was a Rabbi who is the head of an
important Yeshiva in Jerusalem, and a very
prominent Sheik in Jerusalem.
We were planning future study sessions for people to learn from the Koran and
the Torah about significant topics to build non-violence and reconciliation
here.
