Blessings & Love to Ashley Reid
Hello MIC Family,
Thank you so much for your love, welcome and support these last 2.5 years. I came from New Jersey with very little, and now as an Masters of Divinity graduate, I am leaving MIC with so much! It's time for me to continue my journey of giving and receiving love in this world.
With Love & Gratitude,
Ashley Reid

Voices for a World Free of Nuclear Weapons
After attending the recent United Religions Initiative (URI) gathering, Sherna Deamer
of the Bahá'í Faith of San Rafael
was inspired to start a cooperation circle in Marin County to promote a world free of nuclear weapons.
Under the auspices of URI, Sherna is looking for other interested people to help form a new working group. See her letter HERE for more information and to get involved.
