Golden Rule Radical

Posted By David on November 17, 2009

From the Interfaith Desk of Scarboro Missions:

On November 5, another Golden milestone was achieved in the growing global Golden Rule-Interfaith movement:

Scarboro Missions’ Golden Rule packages, containing the Golden Rule poster, the new Golden Rule movie, and other Golden Rule materials, were enthusiastically, graciously and gratefully received in Washington, by the White House Office of Faith-Based Initiatives.

The packages were presented by Sam Muyskens, the former Executive Director of Interfaith Ministries, Wichita, Kansas (one of the four invited executives attending the historic event).

Several long-term executives of local/grassroots interfaith organizations practising community-based “Dialogue in Action” were invited to join the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighbourhood Partnerships, including Elliot Gershenson, Rabbi George Stein, as well as Sam Muyskens. Also in attendance were White House Staff Arie Alexander, Mara Vanderslice and John Kelly.

Although the President himself was not present, Sam Muyskens has conveyed to Paul McKenna, the Interfaith Coordinator of Scarboro Missions, that he feels “certain that the packages for President Obama will be reviewed”.
