This One World Church will bring persecution to all that object that will be merciless and relentless. Leaders want Global Thanksgiving for all Faiths. Thanksgiving was created as a day of reflection, a day to show gratitude to God for life and its many blessings. Often in America, however, the focus becomes football and feasting. Last week, a group of leading clergy and academic scholars gathered in Dallas to discuss how to return to the true meaning of Thanksgiving and make it a more global holiday.
Thanksgiving is one of the high points of religious worship.
The get-together, organized by the Center for World Thanksgiving, also allowed the religious and academic leaders to sit down in a small group and talk to cone another about their faith. Elizabeth Espersen, executive director of the Center for World Thanksgiving, said last week's meetings gave the advisers an opportunity to speak at a very profound level. What we do here is ask them to give us advice and also provide them extended contact and in-depth interchange, Ms. Espersen said. It should be happening in terms of religion. An encounter with a person of faith is an encounter with God himself, said the rabbi, who helped negotiate the recent Vatican Israel agreement.
