Remembering Whose We Are
Invitation to the Celebration
Begin with words similar to those: Who are you? Who am I? Who are we in relation to God and each other? We are many things. We have many differences. Some of us are "big shots"Êin the world's eyes; some of us are "small shots." In the eyes of God, we are all on the same level, absolutely dependent on the grace and mercy and justice of God. As Sheldon Kopp says in his book, If You Meet the Buddha on the Road, Kill Him, "No one is any stronger or any weaker than anyone else."
