This document was started in June 2005 as an Earth Harmony project.
It is intended to promote spiritual unity
and create a kinder world for all sentient beings.
Our friends at Jewish Vegetarians of North America have just produced an amazing feature film that is relevant to every one of us.
The film is called "A SACRED DUTY: Applying Jewish Values To Help Heal The World" and it runs for approximately one hour.
Please take the time to watch this incredible movie (below). It is about each of us doing what we can to save the planet.
A SACRED DUTY:
DECEMBER 2007:
Below is an exciting message from Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in the United States:

people of many diverse faiths in Washington, D.C. United by their compassion for animals,
the diverse group came together to witness the unveiling and signing of
'A Religious Proclamation for Animal Compassion.'
"This important document, created by a group of clergy representing more than 20 of the world's
religious traditions, issues calls to action for people of all faiths to reclaim a commitment to animals.
