<p>I sent him a note, after Kat inquired if it was just a matter of
needing a ride on the 13th. I am having trouble with emails and
general Internet because we have been hacked - so not sure what is
going out and what is being kicked back. Will wait to hear from
him. <br>

<div id="yiv4618399599ymail_android_signature">I would love to
have a conversation with you guys and would like to put it
across that I celebrate diversity. I grew up Catholic with a
small dose of African Tradition and my wife is Protestant. I
am not opposed to your beliefs and I found the ideas of
compassion, love and making each other better in the 7
pillars. I believe in that too.</div>

<div id="yiv4618399599ymail_android_signature">So the reason
we work with women in the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe is
because we want to gently deconstruct some tenants of an
indigenous Christian religious sect in that area that
believes in polygamy, hardline patriarchy and marginalized
women to the status of child bearers and farm labor. </div>

<div id="yiv4618399599ymail_android_signature">We try to be
subtle about it and lift the women's voices by connecting
them to more resources and tools better their incomes and
understanding of how the world works. Look up the "
Apostolic Sect of Zimbabwe " for reference.</div>

<div id="yiv4618399599ymail_android_signature">I would gladly
share that story with you guys and the jokes that come with
it. I don't know if you are comfortable to then pick me up
on the 4th because I might have to crunch up on all my work
before the visit since I won't have parts of Sunday.</div>

<p>I belong to a Unitarian Universalist Society in
Marietta Ohio and I mentioned you would be
visiting us. They're wondering if you would be
interested in giving a 30 minute talk (you can
also use powerpoint) on your work on Nov. 6th at
11am. You could stay with me until then, and
after the service I could take you back to
Athens. <br clear="none">
</p>
<p>They are particularly interested if you are
connected with a religion and how your work (and
that religion) might compare in their ideology
with the Unitarian 7 principles <a shape="rect"

<p>I am not a religious person but I belong to this
group because they offer support for my
progressive views and support my work. The 7
principles are definitely the core of my belief
system. <br clear="none">
