Mother's Trust, Mother's
Place is
dedicated to interfaith study and dialogue, as an important
way of promoting understanding and peaceful relationships
among people of differing beliefs in the community and
in the world. We believe we are a part of the wave of
the future. We invite you to join us in our efforts. We
do believe that the time has come for the world's religions
to work together in the service of humankind and the sustainability
of the earth. All religions must sooner or later realize
and emphasize their common substratum; than alone can
religion act as a potent force to unify humankind while
honoring the diversity of the world's faiths, cultures
and traditions.

Mother's
Trust, Mother's Place is
dedicated to honor and explore the meaning of the "Motherhood
of God", the feminine, and its implications for renewed
understanding of how the wisdom of the world's faith traditions,
can inform contemporary issues and with "compassionate
service and compassionate forgiveness", meet global
issues and human needs. We believe in equitable rights of
women and men alike. Mother's Place honors the divinity
in all and provides a home, family, community and fellowship,
for pilgrims and families of all walks of life. Mother's
Place is an ashram, a refuge, for all individuals exploring
the wonders of the Spirit. We are egar to learn and to practice:
in pursuit of peace and unconditional love and compassionate
forgiveness |

| Every
one that walks through the doors of Mother's Place
feels that some thing is here just for them. Whether it
is in the service, the symbols of faiths; only the heart
knows. For those of you who have not had the experience,
please come and make your pilgrimage to a sacred place.
Others who are at a distance, are welcome to join us through
our "interfaith newsgroup" or correspondence programs.
We are a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization located in Ganges,
MI - 6 miles outside of Saugatuck and 20 miles outside Holland.
We are an interfaith commuity which is made up of individuals,
monastics and lay; from a variety of spiritual traditions,
working together to create understanding, acceptance, and
respect for all the world's religions, through interfaith
education, dialogue and spiritual explorations. We are pilgrims,
each on our own path, each responsible for the personal
and global transformation of the earth community and all
living beings. |

Mother'sTrust, Mother's
Place was
established in 1992 by several dedicated nuns and monks.
Women did not find a place for equitable participation
in religious or secular life, and therefore with the help
of men and women egar to see equality as a model for their
children and society, began blue prints that would create
a beautiful complex dedicated to the "divine mother".
The name "Mother's Trust, Mother's, Place" was
given by a senior monk, of the Vedantic traditon who experienced
the "mystical presence"of the "divine mother",
as the inspiration in creating a place of universality,
healing, spirituality and com-passion. In 1998 Mother's
Place was dedicated by nuns and monks coming from all
over the world. 250 people of all faith traditions attended
three holy days of worship, service, lectures, dialogue,
celebration, music and initiations. Since then we have
established the Lakeshore Interfaith Institute for the
educational exploration of spirituality, as an expression
of the commonality found in the wisdom of the world's
faith traditions.
