A Prayer For The Leaders In Your Life

Dear God,

I stop and think of those who are leaders in my life...

in my home...

in my work....

in my country....

in the world....

Perhaps there are some I find it hard to think of with love.

I hand over to you any anger or fear I feel.

In this moment, I am willing to send them love.

However I feel about them, in this moment, I see your love flowing

through me to them.

Dear God, I ask you to feed these people on your wisdom and your

understanding, for their good and for the good of all they serve.

Let them recognize and take the authority that is theirs to take.

Thank you God for guiding them every step of the way.

Amen

An enlightened leadership quality is honesty. The best leaders don't need to stretch the truth. Spiritual leadership recognizes that being honest is the best way to gain respect.

There's no room for dishonest behavior in enlightened leadership.” Diana Lynn

Parents/Guardians are required to complete a registration form for NMC for all children

attending, and can do this ahead of time, or on the first day the child attends. Age range is

Reading the Riot Boards: Mini Exhibition of the 2011 Stanley Cup Riot

boards at Museum of Vancouver Venue: Museum of Vancouver

Time: 10am-5pm

Following the riot on June 15, 2011 after the Vancouver Canucks lost game seven of the

Stanley Cup finals, broken windows on downtown businesses were hastily boarded up with

sheets of plywood. The day after the riot fans and others met to clean up the city and began

to leave messages on the boards - condemning the violence and looting, professing their love

for the city, and stating “this is not the real Vancouver”. The MOV received 86 of the

boards for its permanent collection.

Opening June 15, 2012, the MOV will exhibit 15 the boards in the MOV Studio. What

began as a utilitarian reaction to broken windows grew into an open source work of art, with

messages from thousands of Vancouverites and visitors to the city. At a time when world

media fixed on Vancouver’s wrongs, residents-as-authors and as-artists used the riot boards

to examine our collective conscience, encourage reconciliation, address the city’s social ills,

and remind us that hope persists.

Being religious means asking passionately the question of the meaning of our

existence and being willing to receive answers, even if the answers hurt.

That which makes us Haida: the Haida language Venue: Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art (The)

Location: Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art (The)

This exhibition documents the last remaining fluent speakers of the Haida language and

explores the three remaining dialects found in Alaska, Old Massett and Skidegate through

portraits taken by Vancouver-based photographer Farah Nosh over the last eight years and

interviews with the last fluent speakers in these communities.

These men and women (the youngest is now 65 years old) who grew up with active, fluent

speakers in their homes, are dedicating their time to save this linguistic isolate from extinction

by teaching in schools, creating a written orthography and orally documenting all the

vocabulary they know. They speak of how the language has influenced their relationship to

the land and the sea, and shaped their ability to feel and understand their relationship to the

earth and all beings through respect for all things. A full-colour catalogue, with a foreward by

renowned anthropologist Wade Davis, and a CD accompanies the exhibition (Haida Gwaii

Museum Press).

We, all of us, are being called to do something unprecedented. We are being called to

think about "everything that is," for we now know that everything is interrelated and that

the well-being of each is connected to the well-being of the whole. This suggests a

"planetary agenda" for all the religions, all the various fields of expertise.
