On  September 21st, 2023 on the UN International Day of Peace, the 21^st. Annual  Pause The World for Peace Broadcast, both in-person and global virtual audiences experienced the first ever 100% solar-powered concert in Times Square for peace and ecology, powered by multi-faceted musical artist and climate activist AY Young and his Battery Tour. Also featured is mental tranquility advocate and acclaimed singer Michel Pascal, who was joined by US Presidential Candidate, author, and activist Marianne Williamson and Myron McKinley of Earth, Wind, & Fire. As a part of the larger six-hour Peace Day event, this concert shared virtual messages from legacy peacekeepers like Ringo Starr, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael Douglas, Jane Goodall, Sir Paul McCartney, Oprah Winfrey, Deepak Chopra, Joe Dispenza, Stevie Wonder, Dionne Warwick, and Shakira. The nonprofit event producer Good News Corporation has partnered with OMMM, UNIFY, WE.net, AY Young, Battery Tour, SmartFlower, Playa Betty’s, 5 Star Diamond Award, Samsung, GM, BNP Paribas, Hugg-A Planet, New York Parks and Recreation, and Times Square Alliance.

Reverend Paul Sladkus, All Faiths, and Spiritual and Executive Producer for 21 years in Central Park, NY, Times Square, NY, and worldwide stated, “ This year’s participation exceeded our expectation to strengthen the message of International Peace, along with showing our love for MOTHER EARTH.  Here are the links for the three parts, approx. 2 hours each.  We are in negotiation for additional broadcast because Pausing the World for Peace is always needed”

 The Battery Tour’s involvement in the Pause the World for Peace event was highly intentional. On a mission to break barriers and build bridges, AY Young was appointed by the United Nations as the Global Youth Leader for the Sustainable Development Goals in 2020, Generation 17 Youth Ambassador, and SDG Champion. AY has performed over 800 concerts powered entirely by the Battery Tour’s renewable energy. “We are all outlets for change,” says the artist. And driving positive change was a major theme between Pause the World for Peace event collaborators. 

Michel Pascal led a dance meditation and musical performance, seamlessly combining the serenity of meditation, and the joy of dance, promising a unique and transformative experience. Pascal, is co-founder of OMMM which is a movement to create a positive impact on individuals and communities worldwide through the practice of meditation, music, and multimedia content. Pascal, A.K.A “The Medicine Voice,” has been performing at Carnegie Hall since 2016, while working closely with marginalized communities, including prisoners and veterans. The concert featured a bilingual meditation guided by Juliana Klinkert, an esteemed meditation teacher known for her work at the Amity Foundation and in Hispanic communities.

Young and Pascal, along with the generations they represent, continue a wave of peace work built on the foundations of champions of peace like David Gershon (led 1986 Earth Run Torch of Peace), Ben Bowler (founder of UNITY Earth bringing cease-fires for peace), his eminence Shyalpa Rinpoche (currently building Universal Peace Sanctuary at UNESCO World Heritage Site for Peace), Jonathan Granoff (World Academy of Art & Science Fellow and UN Ambassador to the Nobel Peace Laureates), and Jeremy Gilley (founder of Peace One Day with Sir Paul McCartney message). They, like others both in New York and nationally, including Michael Fitzpatrick (25-year cellist to the Dalai Lama), Rick Ulfic & Andrew Kaen (established 11 Days of Global Unity), Reverend Susana Bastarrica & James Cannings (founded Vigil for International Day of Peace), and Reverend Deborah Muldow & Fumi Johns (of May Peace Prevail on Earth with 250,000 Peace Poles worldwide), Peace Lights Peter Rogina, have dedicated their lives to empowering communities, fostering cooperation, and addressing global challenges with social innovations. Seeds planted decades ago are breaking ground as a new surge of activism takes shape in a post-pandemic society ready for collaborative action.

The Pause the World for Peace event included a special segment entitled “Peace in Action” with renowned representatives sharing the latest in major global issues, including domestic violence, school safety, human rights, human security, animal rights, climate action, and ending violence in health, politics, and religion, regardless of gender, race, or disability, promoting practical paths to a thriving life for all. A special military and police tribute for fallen heroes was featured. 

The Pause the World for Peace event, set in the Duffy Square section of Times Square, NY, is hosted by the Good News Corporation, whose founder Reverend Paul Sladkus has continued to be a leader in rallying movements for peace in action. Sladkus, who is an ordained all-faith minister, implores, “193 countries in the UN unanimously agreed to a CEASE FIRE EVERYWHERE, ACTS OF PEACE & LOVE, and WE CAN DO IT. We listened to Ringo Starr at 12:00 pm Noon ET as he requested a Worldwide Moment of Silence for PEACE, from Times Square, virtually on September 21, 2023, and we prayed to keep that moment going for peace and ecology  to last FOREVER.”

The event ran until 5:00PM EDT and aired to the world via UNIFY (received 2 billion views with the UN for Peace Day in 2017), which broadcasted the program to their combined partner audience of millions worldwide. McKinsey Co. stated that there are 1.6 billion people worldwide already aware of the International Day of Peace. Pause the World for Peace aimed to amplify the urgent need for collective action and global cooperation. Together, we stand in solidarity to promote peace, human security, and climate action for a better and brighter future for all.

For the millions of people living with psoriasis, like Gloria, the impact on their daily lives extends far beyond the physical symptoms. Among some of the many grievances Gloria can share about her last 10 years living with the condition are:

Strangers commenting on her skin when she’s out in public

Leaving bits of skin on furniture — and even needing to vacuum her bedsheets

Wearing her hair down during the unbearably hot Texas summer to avoid showing affected areas on the back of her neck

Times when people haven’t wanted to touch her skin, such as a cashier not wanting to take a $20 bill from her hands, during a flare-up

Although Gloria tried a number of treatments to help improve her psoriasis, many of these treatments didn’t give her the results she was looking for — as is often the case among psoriasis patients.

Fortunately, there’s hope. A new, innovative treatment in plaque psoriasis is getting high praise from people like Gloria, as well as the medical community. Following more than 25 years of minimal innovation in the topical psoriasis treatment space, the FDA recently approved a steroid-free, prescription cream for plaque psoriasis in adults — the first in its class in the U.S.

Linda Stein-Gold, MD, Director of Dermatology Clinical Research at Henry Ford Health System and Gloria as they discuss the significant impact plaque psoriasis may have on a person’s life and what this new treatment may mean for those who are suffering with plaque psoriasis as well.

“At a time of division and despair, Linda Seger reminds us of essential human values shared by all: humanity, respect and ensuring a better, safer world for our children. This book builds a bridge for people with different political and religious beliefs.” – Congressman Steve Israel (2001-2017)

In this provocative and insightful book, Jesus Rode A Donkey: Why Millions of Christians Are Democrats (Clovercroft Publishing May5th, Trade Paperback, 253 pages, ISBN: 978-1950892143, $16.99), author Dr. Linda Seger, a theologian and a Quaker, explores what it means to be a Christian and a Democrat as we approach a sure-to-be historic 2020 election.

“Being Christian and a Democrat are not mutually exclusive,”asserts Seger, Th.D. “My book reveals the close relationship between Democratic policy and Jesus’ teachings and the many ways in which the values Jesus espouses in the Bible correspond to the values Democrats call their own.”

The idea that American Christians vote strictly Republican crumbles as readers peruse Seger’s careful study of both parties’ platforms. Jesus Rode A Donkey reminds the reader that Jesus and the prophets had a radical, progressive message that calls individuals and nations to feed the hungry, help the poor,heal the sick, free the oppressed, and to love our enemies. The Democrats embrace these values.

“The public needs to understand that Republicans do not have the corner on Christ,” says Dr. Seger. “They have actually lost their moral authority and moral compass since 2016 by not speaking out against unchristian, immoral behavior from our government.”

If you’re unsure about which party and which policies best express your values, perhaps this book will bring you some clarity about who you are, what you believe as a citizen of our country and of our world, and what actions you can take to help create a society that is an expression of God’s grace, the love of Christ, and the manifestation of the Holy Spirit.

Seger, Th.D., holds three master’s degrees, as well as a Th.D. in theology and drama. She is the author of 16 books and has given seminars and speeches in 33 countries around the world. Raised a 1950s Republican and a Lutheran, her political and religious evolution led her to become a Democrat and a Quaker.She is a born-again Christian, was a fundamentalist and evangelical for several years. In one way or another, she has been associated with the Southern Baptists, United Church of Christ, Lutheran, Methodist and Presbyterian churches. She serves on the board of Christian Democrats in America. She has also been a county caucus chair and has served as a delegate for the Colorado county and state Democratic Convention.

Dr. Seger believes our nation is in the midst of a moral crisis, and notes that Democrats of late have been more willing to speak up about their faith and have been more willing to look at the crisis in our government through their moral and ethical faith perspectives.

Jesus Rode A Donkey is a well-researched, soul-searching, and clear-eyed look at America’s Christian values and how they impact policy. It also makes a strong case that the Democratic platform clearly reflects Christian values.

Valentine’s Day, also called Saint Valentine’s Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, is an annual holiday celebrated on February 14. It originated as a Western Christian liturgical feast day honoring one or more early saints named Valentinus, and is recognized as a significant cultural and commercial celebration in many regions around the world, although it is not a public holiday in any country.
Several martyrdom stories associated with the various Valentines that were connected to February 14 were added to later martyrologies, including a popular hagiographical account of Saint Valentine of Rome which indicated he was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry and for ministering to Christians, who were persecuted under the Roman Empire. According to legend, during his imprisonment, Saint Valentine healed the daughter of his jailer, Asterius, and before his execution, he wrote her a letter signed “Your Valentine” as a farewell.

The day first became associated with romantic love within the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the 14th century, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. In 18th-century England, it evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as “valentines”). In Europe, Saint Valentine’s Keys are given to lovers “as a romantic symbol and an invitation to unlock the giver’s heart”, as well as to children, in order to ward off epilepsy (called Saint Valentine’s Malady). Valentine’s Day symbols that are used today include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards.Saint Valentine’s Day is an official feast day in the Anglican Communion, as well as in the Lutheran Church. Many parts of the Eastern Orthodox Church also celebrate Saint Valentine’s Day, albeit on July 6 and July 30, the former date in honor of the Roman presbyter Saint Valentine, and the latter date in honor of Hieromartyr Valentine, the Bishop of Interamna (modern Terni).

My name is Shane Bitney Crone.  Just over a month ago, I posted a video on YouTube entitled, “It Could Happen to You.” You might have seen it.  It was about the accidental death of my life partner, Tom Bridegroom, and more importantly what happened in the aftermath because we weren’t married (even though that was our dream).   http://youtu.be/pR9gyloyOjM

Overwhelming response!  Over 2.7 million people have watched my video and more than 20,000 people posted comments.  And most importantly, the video is making a difference; so many have written to say that they now understand why marriage equality is so fundamentally right and how important it is to legally prepare for the unexpected.  I have heard that our story is providing inspiration and hope.

And now we are making a film – BRIDEGROOM: AN AMERICAN LOVE STORY.  I have joined with producers Linda Bloodworth-Thomason (Designing Women and The Man From Hope) and Linda Burstyn (Emmy award-winning writer/producer for Nightline with Ted Koppel) to make a feature length documentary about our story. We are raising money on the crowd funding site, KICKSTARTER.  Please check out our Kickstarter site and watch the video pitch for the film:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/452010736/bridegroom-an-american-love-story or http://kck.st/Ky24tE

As I write this, we’ve already raised over $185,000 of our $300,000 goal.  We have 12 days to go before the end of our campaign. If we don’t reach our goal by July 19, we lose all funds we’ve raised. That’s the way Kickstarter works.  Even small donations can make a difference. We need your help to spread the word and drive people to our Kickstarter page.  I know we can raise these funds to make this film.  Our goal is to have BRIDEGROOM completed and in theaters before the election.  I hope you will join us and encourage your friends to be part of this effort as well.

BRIDEGROOM will be much more than a tragic love story. This film will represent every single person who has ever been ostracized and condemned for being who they are and loving who they love. Tom and I were never able to marry – because it was and is illegal in California. With this film, we have a rare and powerful opportunity to open people’s hearts and minds on this very important issue of human rights.

We can’t change the past, but with your help, we can create a more equal future.
