When the Dalai Lama was once asked to describe his religion, he quickly responded, "My Religion is very simple. My religion is kindness." Teachings of kindness and compassion are at the heart of every major world religion, but translating this teaching into practice is quite another thing.  We will explore what it could mean to live a religion of kindness.   This morning as our children in religious education become part of a campaign to "Choose To Be Nice,” in worship we will explore cultivating more kindness and compassion in our lives.  Music will include David Friedman's beautiful song, "We Can Be Kind," as well as music about kindness and compassion form several different religious traditions.  The Rev. Tom Rosiello will be preaching and music will be under the direction of Mike Pfitzer.
