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
