Council of Faith......NEEDED MORE THAN EVER

Five days after 9/11/2001  I wrote the following piece.  I've posted it a few times over the years on Mind Jazz but when talking about it to someone the other day I realized that while it might have been important at the time....it is now PARAMOUNT that something along these lines becomes a reality.

WE NEED TO GET THE STARS TOGETHER

WE NEED TO GET THE SCRIPT WRITERS TOGETHER

WE NEED TO GET THE DIRECTORS TOGETHER

WE NEED TO GET THE PRODUCERS TOGETHER

WE NEED TO GET THE STUDIOS TOGETHER

WE NEED TO GET THE PUBLICISTS TOGETHER

WE NEED TO GET THE CRITICS TOGETHER

WE NEED TO GET THE DISTRIBUTORS TOGETHER

WE NEED TO GET THE FILM EDITORS TOGETHER

WE NEED TO GET THE SOUND EDITORS TOGETHER

WE NEED TO GET THE SET DESIGNERS TOGETHER

WE NEED TO GET THE GRIPS TOGETHER

WE NEED TO GET THE CATERERS TOGETHER

AND

THEN

WE NEED

TO DEMONSTRATE OUR ABILITY TO

LISTEN AND LEARN AND THEN LOVE WHAT WE HEAR

AND LOVE WHO WE HEAR IT FROM

AND THEN LOVE THAT WE MIGHT HAVE DIFFERENT WAYS

OF TRYING TO REACH THE SAME GOALS

OUR DIFFERENT METHODS OF HOW WE LOVE GOD SEEM TO

BE ONE OF THE MAJOR ISSUES…….SO LET’S HOLD A

COUNCIL OF FAITH AND COVER IT LIKE NO MEDIA

EVENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.  LET’S GIVE IT AS MUCH

PRIME TIME AS WE GIVE TRAGIC EPISODES.

LET THE WORLD WATCH AND PARTICIPATE….BRING EVERY

RELIGION TO THE COUNCIL OF FAITH AND ONCE AND FOR ALL

LET’S PUT THEM ALL ON TRIAL.
