Today we are going to look at how we can take our faith outward and share with those around us.  We are going to look at a couple of different approaches.  The first is called the Roman Road Method, and the second is called the Four Spiritual Laws approach.  We will look at those approaches […]

Today we continue to look at Unity and Diversity.  We will begin as we have in the past with the diagram of the pyramid of unity that we have been discussing.
