NOV 4th: Stellar INTERFAITH CONFERENCE held at Jain Temple- Milpitas (SF Bay Area)
The 2nd INTERFFAITH conference was excellet attempt by the Jain Center of Northern Jalifornia (JCNC).
  A very good panel of speakers represented Islamic, Hinduism, Christian, Judaism, Sikhism, Buddhism and of course Jainism
 The most interesting was that EVERYONE seeme to have learned from each other and the COMMONALITY of thought process was laidout- which was the idea in the first place.  

Along with a darshan of  swamini Shullika Subhamati Mataji and Chanting and singing by couple of groups, the panel discussio was the main offering at the meeting.

The Speakers were quite good and learned and each made points succinctly, no doubt hlped by the excellent time management by volunteers of the JCNC.
The willingness of the representatives of each faith to accept, expolre and listen was also very, very refreshing
