* In this day and age where "globalization" and "universal" are keywords, and we are constantly bombarded by world news, it is sometimes easy to overlook or right out miss something very important.
* These articles span a period of merely six years, and they definitely have a common thread: women and spirituality/religion, worldwide.
* I could not help but notice also that, in most cases, in whatever area of the world this issue is brought to the front, some major political aspects are raised along with it.
* As we focus on fighting the "good fight", imho, it is critical for both men and women to also concentrate on going beyond just "togetherness" and strive for "oneness", according to the word of our Lord "That they may be one".
