Conversations Friends: I have been blessed to be part of many meal-time conversations over the last 13 years. Yesterday was a fine one. Dr. Charles Jones of CUA and Dr. Richard Jones [Consortium Alwani Scholar] talked about many things over lunch yesterday. Chuck always teaches me something about Buddhism; Richard about Islam. Yesterday I also learned a little more about the dialogue of Science and Religion. This nourishment for the mind has been an important part of my Consortium Experience. Peace, John
