<body class='hmmessage'>It shouldn't matter, but unfortunately in our society, racism, sexism, classism, religious choice, sexual orientation, gender preference, disability, on and on and on, are still factors in discrimination. We do not live in a color blind/gender blind etc society and until we do we need to make sure that people from under represented groups are at the table and part of the conversation, even if we may not agree with what they are saying. It is important that we realize the inherent worth in all people for what they have to contribute to the betterment of our nation and world. <BR>

I believe that Sue's original point was that this is a community event and at her first glance she did not see a woman on the panel. An event that is trying to reach beyond faith lines should have a diverse panel. I am very glad to see that it does, and I would imagine that there is plenty of diversity on the panel beyond the gender and race of those that are represented. We all should be trying to make spaces for diversity to enter into the conversation so that one day we won't need to rely on those categories. <BR>

<DIV>Why are some people so obsessed with a person's gender, race, religion, and sexual orientation? Does it matter?</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>OOPS. I didn't see Kayle's name. Sorry for the comment. But even so, 1 of 8 isn't all that representative. Trinity Baptist, where I used to attend has never chosen to involve itself in any local Interfaith efforts. The congregation perceives that kind of involvement as a dilution of Baptist tenets. </FONT></DIV>
