Religious Holidays

 

Jews and Christians prepare for important religious celebrations.  Is it possible to fully celebrate these individual remembrances as well as recollecting what holds all humanity together?  We sometimes pit our own religious perspectives against the common good without realizing that much of the time these differences can contribute to the common good.  Our other complication is that we sometimes see that our religious perspectives are the only one's that foster the common good.  I would like to commit myself to identifying ways to work with people of all faiths, and even those who find faith commitments to be an impediment, to build a more just just society.    

Share your ideas and actions about ways we can both build stronger personal commitments while vigorously working with all peoples. 

Community Values

Has the Mystic community identified the values that drive our interests?  I am sure there must be some core values that have resided in the hearts and minds of residents.  Have they changed or evolved? 

Every time a budget, corporate or individual, is set one expresses their core values.  In the recent discussions about libraries, ambulances, and public education funding we are expressing our values. 

Have we fostered discussions with individuals and groups about how their core values match or challenge some of the longstanding core values?  Let's enter an online discussion among Mystic residents, our neighboring citizens, and for that matter any community that is discussing community values.
