I find it quite interesting how more 'organic' (hmm not sure if thats the right word, hope you get my meaning!) religious practices are springing up as organised religion loosens its hold.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16307649445757209162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8361177678919142183.post-71552973690901395522009-09-08T03:20:48.054-07:002009-09-08T03:20:48.054-07:00Very interesting.
