R2E (aka 'The Road to Emmaus')

Celebrating the essential dignity of all people by making a place in our hearts, our churches, and our societies for those who have been 'labelled disabled'. We evangelize the world and the church so that everyone may know that Jesus walks with us in 'the least of these my brethren'. (ask Mother Teresa/Read Luke 24:13-33&Matt.25:31-46/listen to the Spirit)...

Mimetic Rivalry....leads to Dime Store Chic, 'Make the Rich Pay' politics, and high crime in prosperous times

Click on the Mother Teresa quote to find out what R2E is all about, Charlie Brown!

You can find Calcutta anywhere in the world. You only need two eyes to see. Everywhere in the world there are people that are not loved, people that are not wanted nor desired, people that no one will help, people that are pushed away or forgotten. And this is the greatest poverty. Mother Teresa

The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them; that's the essence of inhumanity. George Bernard Shaw

The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved - loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves. -Victor Hugo
