For my part as the 'token' pagan, I volunteered to be part of a circle in the centre of the larger group who would have a go at holding a dialogue on a topic from the 2009 Parliament of World Religions, and shared Paganism's reverence for the Feminine, and asked about other faith's views on this. I had a good reply from a Hindu, and then a very surprising reply from an Anglican, who said that they view 'God' as male and female, Jesus as male, and the Holy Spirit as female - even using female pronouns in some hymns.
There
was also some good discussion about inclusivity, and the chance to answer a few
basic questions about Paganism (e.g., “do
you worship Nature?”; “No, we revere
Nature and worship Deities”).
I
think I've made a few good connections today :)
And now, one more family call, and then time to get ready for tonight's meditation.

Please see here and my post "The
Death of Wikipedia" for the
reasons I now recommend caution when using Wikipedia. I'm also exploring use of
h2g2, although that doesn't appear to be as
extensive (h2g2 is intended - rather
engagingly - to be the Earth edition of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to
the Galaxy").

I started this blog to cover karmic regression-rescue (see here and here), and it grew ... See here for my group mind project, here and here for my "Pagans for Peace" project (and join me at 9 PM on Sunday, wherever you are, to meditate for peace), and here for my bindrune kit-bag. I also strongly recommend learning how to flame, ground and shield, do alternate nostril breathing, work with colour, and see also here and be flexible.
