"When the Sacred is recognized, in
whatever form and with whatever language, it is protected. If the Sacred was
recognized in children, they would be cherished. If the Sacred was perceived in
all religious traditions, then tolerance would give way to genuine appreciation
for diverse traditions. If the Sacred was recognized within all life of the Earth
community, then we would not be in an ecological crisis.
People do not destroy
what they experience as sacred."
