is just a large enough interfaith creation festival interfaith creation connectedness that we have with one another so that further on in the year we will continue our year dialogue aim an inch a lot come back next year with some of the projects that have developed as a result this year of dialogue  for the interface creation festival number two ok you know i'm sure i'm sure you are yes we want to post a night when i can hear you loud and clear there's a poster there we go there we go that's the interfaith creation festival poster and we have some smaller posters knowing that dead share the same a share the same thing yes so when we get the  weekend of activities there's information on how you can go about doing that and there's a lot of information there's also scholarship information on there as well so it's a wealth of information and for those of you who are not intern meg's don't do him internet are into that there is a phone number to call so you can call and get that same information address and location it creation festival when i heard about it that maybe you are interested in wanted to participate we're always looking for new ways to meet new people around different in any way we can  think there needs to be more people need to have more of an understanding about other people's face and not just assume that their faith is the best and that you know everybody else is you know there's so and i think that if you actually learn about other people's religions that you're having having a better understanding will make you have more universalist and what is that it's a religion that accepts everyone's religion they don't just think that theirs is the best and you can actually there isn't really a set of scripture that you study and like you study the bible and everything and there's just principles that you fall so you can just suggestions does anyone have a reference to how we can be better change agents in terms of caring for our creation it's sure if you want to  i think there are many ways you can support the earth and helping out and like recycling and just basic things like that and even buying a hybrid car and non gas cars that and just like turning off your lights and just helping save energy and everything like that and i actually a really good movie to watch is an inconvenient truth and that really teaches you a lot about global warming and gives you a better understanding about a lot of there's a lot so you know i learned a lot oh this was fantastic
