Comments about: An Open Letter from Norm Phelps to the Dalai Lama

By Cathleen - 24 Nov 2016

Dear Frank and Mary,

Thank you for acknowledging my message. I hope your day has been pleasant, at least so far.

I hear what you’re saying. Indeed, our churches (and mosques and synagogues and temples) are terribly closed down, and so I especially admire your integrity in all your years of speaking up. It’s painful to keep at it when our society looks to the institutions for guidance. The public supposes honest examination and real leadership that’s actually deeply compromised where the animals are concerned. No doubt that's made your experience especially dispiriting, and why I honor that you’ve continued to encourage dialogue. We never know when one person becomes a little more compassionate because another person made some effort. I don’t know all you've tried, but I know you’ve stayed with it for a long time.

I wish you every happiness, today and always.

Cathleen
