Let's Communicate and Coexist

As a long time Communication teacher I believe in the power of the spoken word. Although I don't think that communication alone will solve all problems--I do believe it is a key ingredient. I saw this emblem at Lola's Diner the other day and followed it over to Good Mourning Glory where I discovered that Diane is promoting the concept of coexistence with guest posts by bloggers from diverse religious backgrounds who will be sharing stories of their faith's various traditions starting on November 16.

What a wonderful idea, Diane! With so much strife in the world (religious, political, and otherwise), any opportunity for people to learn about each other's perspectives, for people to practice tolerance, courtesy, and respect for each others' viewpoints is one of the best ways of putting our communication skills into practice. This Communication teacher supports your efforts and hopes COEXIST (note how symbols for different religious perspectives are interwoven into the word "coexist"), a celebration of peace, is a huge success. Please drop by Diane's blog starting on November 16 and join me in learning about fellow bloggers' different traditions.
