"(this) teaching appears in the Zend Avesta of Zoroaster ... It contains the fundamental concepts of (Hinduism), the Vedas and the Upanishads; and the Yoga systems of India sprang from the same source. Buddha later gave forth essentially the same basic ideas and his sacred Bodhi tree is correlated with the Essene Tree of Life. In Tibet the teaching once more found expression in the Tibetan Wheel of Life."
-Edmond Bordeaux Szekely, historian
"All must abandon prejudices and must even go to each other's churches and mosques, for in all of these worshipping places, the Name of God is mentioned.

In America, I went to Jewish Synagogues, which are similar to Christian Churches, and I saw them worshiping God everywhere."
-Abdu'l-Baha, disciple of Baha'u'llah, founder of the Bahai faith

I pray to God...I wish, that I had done all this before I went to the seminary. I would have knpwn the Bible better, understood the life of Christ in a much deeper way...At the Sun Dance...you get in touch with your physical and spiritual self and respect the sacred in everything." - Rev. Virgil Foote, Episcopal priest

Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!'" - Dr. Martin Luther King jr.
