M'Kor Shalom, Sacred Heart, and the Chicken Cowboyz

Today in the gardens with our hands in the soil we touched our roots. The soil of Camden was pleased with the source of peace and community, with two group coming together, M'Kor Shalom Congregation (Jewish) and Sacred Heart (Catholic) to move each other into a deeper sense of justice. About 40 of us gathered together from different faith traditions to get the soil of Camden under our nails, and listen to each other's stories. We are grounded in the sanctity of all life. We learned that we have far more in common with each other than we realized, and the peace that has filled me during this day is one that is greater than the sum of our diverse faiths.

Thank you for coming and sharing so much with us at the Center. Thank you for loving your neighbor and sharing your hearts. yes, this is only the beginning.


Some of the children from the neighborhood came and hung out in the garden. They are known as the Chicken Cowboyz. They take care of the chickens and give tours of the chickens and all the nests. They will wow you with their stories and their knowledge about the eggs.
