Edward Peruzzi 01/17/2012
 
It is with great sadness that we advise of the passing of one of our number, Rev. Edward "Ed" Peruzzi of Salem, MA.

Ed passed into the Summerland suddenly this afternoon, January 17.  He was just 58 years old.

Ed is survived by his partner, "Gee," two adopted sons; George and Jay, his sister and mother.

As we wrote this, final arrangements were not as yet available.  We will post them when they become available

It is with regret we advise of the passing of Thomas Hick, beloved brother of Rev, Janet Howecroft of our number, after a prolonged illness.

We shall recognize him posthumously as clergy this month.
 
 
We deplore the sensless killing of a Saudi woman for the alleged practice of witchcraft, especially since there are no specific laws in that nation against such.  Superstitious religious law has acted here, resulted in a beheading.

See the following for the story from CBS news

Amina bint Abdul Halim bin Salem Nassar, was condemned in al-Jawf province, having been, according to the Saudi interior ministry, a practicing witch.

Such senseless killing due to ancient superstitions have no place in the modern world.

It is with great joy that Our Lord and Lady of the Trinacrian Rose Church and our affiliate, The Temple of Diana, share in the celebration of the passage of a Gay Rights Marriage law in New York State.

We honor all of our brothers and sisters who will now have an opportunity to participate in same gender unions, which our church has recognized for many years - well before any law.

We find this both curious and interesting that the passage of this law comes at the time of the anniversary of the death of Dr. Leo Louis Martello (June 29), who was an active proponent of gay rights in his lifetime, and who was present at the "Stonewall" incident.  Leo organized the first "Witch-In" in Central Park, which the City attempted to prevent.  More of that story is available from our biography of Dr. Martello under our Memorials link

We commend the New York legislature for recognizing that human rights, and constitutional rights extend well beyond the boundaries of specific religious cultures, and that our laws must evolve to meet those basic human needs.

We were shocked and appalled at the actions of Rev. Terry Jones of Florida and his act of burning a Holy Book.  All religions have differences and certainly pagans have seen their share, but as we move forward in a new millennium we need to learn to accept and tolerate, not inflame or entice to cause undue and unnecessary violence.  The innocent people killed in Afghanistan had nothing to do with the act, but this clearly shows how one's actions have consequences.  Remember that what you impart on others shall return to you threefold.  So Mote It Be.
 
 
We take the time to remember the late Rev. Shawn Poirier who left this mortal world on March 18, 2007.  He will be greatly missed
