Inspirational quote about compassion from OHM Fellowship
"I’m very grateful to be part of this spiritual community, which embodies hope, courage, and compassion. Our Services are so creative and ‘out-0f-the-box’ that they offer a joyful and meaningful alternative to usual services. After just a few months in existence, our members and friends are already providing lots of opportunities to see old friends and meet new ones. It’s a joy! As we develop, we’ll participate in lots of social action projects that honor the worth of all people, regardless of the color of their skin."
