Tribute to HH Pope Francis
We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis, a soul who showed humanity that love and compassion are alive in this world... Pope Francis was a symbol of hope and healing for our fragmented world. His deep faith in God and the demonstration of his faith in serving the poor, the marginalised and those who society seems to have left behind, is a legacy that will live on for people of all faiths... Our sincerest condolences to the Church and all those whose lives have been touched by His Holiness.

Inter Faith Week Report Launch
On 1st May, the report: Bursting the Bubble - Recommendations for enhancing Inter Faith Week in England was launched. Held at the House of Lords and hosted by Lord Khan, Minister for Faith, the meeting was organised by the Faith and Belief Forum and attended by a wide range of faith representatives. Sister Maureen represented the Brahma Kumaris (BKs). Among the recommendations was: Declare Inter Faith Week a public celebration that is fixed in the calendar, marked in Parliament and celebrated by all public bodies. BKs take part in Inter Faith Week all around the country, including hosting an event for the heads of interfaith organisations of all the London Boroughs. The atmosphere of the gathering was one of optimism and togetherness.

Cultivate Innate Wisdom
Tolerance is based on going beyond the superficial things that divide us. It’s the result of turning within and coming to know the self. If I can deal with my own ego, then my own anger can be resolved. This goes a long way in resolving external issues too.
With my own ego out of the way, I will be able to handle anything! Otherwise it’s just the same old thing – you versus me, yours versus mine, etc. – intolerance. If I’m unselfish and honest in my heart and am concerned about others’ needs, then I will be full enough to give.
When you know the self in this way, then you can know others. “I should be understood” changes to “I should understand”. Not “They should change”, but “I will give what’s needed”. Patience, peace and maturity develop. Spiritual tolerance cultivates innate wisdom, the kind you can’t get from books.
