Rev. Marie Gasau commented on Barbra Cowley's group 'Compassionate Cape Town'"Thank you for responding. I agree--it is within individual human interactions that we begin to change, to transform.

A blog post by Rev. Marie Gasau was featured"Neighbor to Vecino" in Compassionate Basalt, Colorado, 8/13/2011
What an amazing week we've just enjoyed in our Compassionate community! Over the last four months an intercultural, intergenerational group of folks has become our Compassionate Action Team--working together closely to create the first "event" since we joined the Campaign for Compassionate Cities on March 8, 2011. The process knit us together in ways that transcended the planning itself. Basalt's population is primarily either Anglo or Hispanic, English or Spanish as first language. All of…See More

Rev. Marie Gasau posted a blog postCompassionate Basalt
This story comes from a woman who lives in Compassionte Basalt, CO: I was selected as a juror for a civil trial in my county. One day the discussion between the lawyers got a little heated, and the judge stopped everything for a minute. He asked everyone if they knew that Basalt had become a Compassionte City. He said that we all needed to respect each other, and be more like Basalt. This was the bright spot for me that day, and it made me smile. I was proud that my little town had decided…See More
